Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Raphael Flauger, Victor Gorbenko, Austin Joyce, Liam McAllister, Gary Shiu | Summary: The precision cosmological model describing the origin and expansion history of the universe, with observed structure seeded at the inflationary cosmic horizon, demands completion in the ultraviolet and in the infrared. The dynamics of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Marcelo A. Alvarez, Arka Banerjee, Simon Birrer, Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann | Summary: Powerful new observational facilities will come online over the next decade, enabling a number of discovery opportunities in the “Cosmic Frontier”, which targets understanding of the physics of the early universe, dark […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Kyle Dawson, Andrew Hearin, Katrin Heitmann, Mustapha Ishak, Johannes Ulf Lange | Summary: Joint studies of imaging and spectroscopic samples, informed by theory and simulations, offer the potential for comprehensive tests of the cosmological model over redshifts z<1.5. Spectroscopic galaxy samples at these redshifts can be increased […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Jorge De Blas, Dario Buttazzo, Rodolfo Capdevilla, David Curtin, Roberto Franceschini | Summary: In the path towards a muon collider with center of mass energy of 10 TeV or more, a stage at 3 TeV emerges as an appealing option. Reviewing the physics potential of such muon […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liantao Wang | First 5 Authors: Chiara Aimè, Aram Apyan, Mohammed Attia Mahmoud, Nazar Bartosik, Alessandro Bertolin | Summary: The perspective of designing muon colliders with high energy and luminosity, which is being investigated by the International Muon Collider Collaboration, has triggered a growing interest in their physics reach. We present a concise […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann, Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Bob Blum, Seth W. Digel, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Salman Habib, Katrin Heitmann | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will begin the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) in 2024, spanning an area of 18,000 square degrees in six bands, with more than 800 observations […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Baxter, Chihway Chang, Andrew Hearin, Jonathan Blazek, Lindsey E. Bleem | Summary: Cosmological data in the next decade will be characterized by high-precision, multi-wavelength measurements of thousands of square degrees of the same patches of sky. By performing multi-survey analyses that harness the correlated […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Daniel Carney, Nirmal Raj, Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, Carlos Blanco | Summary: We outline the unique opportunities and challenges in the search for "ultraheavy" dark matter candidates with masses between roughly $10~{rm TeV}$ and the Planck scale $m_{rm pl} approx 10^{16}~{rm TeV}$. This mass range presents a […]
