Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Jonathan Kozaczuk, Zhen Liu, Tong Ou, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf | Summary: An essential goal of the Higgs physics program at the LHC and beyond is to explore the nature of the Higgs potential and shed light on the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. An important […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Torsten Åkesson, Nikita Blinov, Lukas Brand-Baugher, Cameron Bravo, Lene Kristian Bryngemark | Summary: The constituents of dark matter are still unknown, and the viable possibilities span a vast range of masses. The physics community has established searching for sub-GeV dark matter as a high priority and identified […]

Kavli Affiliate: Scott P. Wakely | First 5 Authors: Colin B. Adams, Giovanni Ambrosi, Michelangelo Ambrosio, Carla Aramo, Timothy Arlen | Summary: The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for a medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Telescope Array. The pSCT is based on a novel dual mirror optics design which reduces the plate scale […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Daniel Green, Austin Joyce, Enrico Pajer, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: This white paper summarizes recent progress in the cosmological bootstrap, an approach to the study of the statistics of primordial fluctuations from consistency with unitarity, locality and symmetry assumptions. We review the key ideas […]

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Marcelo Alvarez, Stephen Bailey, Deborah Bard, Lisa Gerhardt, Julien Guy | Summary: We describe the needs and opportunities for preserving cosmology datasets and simulations, and facilitating their joint analysis beyond the lifetime of individual projects. We recommend that DOE fund a new cosmology data archive center to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: M. Toups, R. G. Van de Water, Brian Batell, S. J. Brice, Patrick deNiverville | Summary: The PIP-II superconducting RF linac is currently under construction at Fermilab and is expected to be completed by the end of 2028. PIP-II is capable of operating in a continuous-wave mode […]

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Cora Dvorkin, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma, Brian Nord, V. Ashley Villar, Camille Avestruz | Summary: Methods based on machine learning have recently made substantial inroads in many corners of cosmology. Through this process, new computational tools, new perspectives on data collection, model development, analysis, and discovery, as well as […]

Kavli Affiliate: Karen Byrum | First 5 Authors: Kevork Abazajian, Arwa Abdulghafour, Graeme E. Addison, Peter Adshead, Zeeshan Ahmed | Summary: This Snowmass 2021 White Paper describes the Cosmic Microwave Background Stage 4 project CMB-S4, which is designed to cross critical thresholds in our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Universe, from the […]
