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: W. L. Kimmy Wu | First 5 Authors: Ana Achúcarro, Matteo Biagetti, Matteo Braglia, Giovanni Cabass, Emanuele Castorina | Summary: Cosmic inflation provides a window to the highest energy densities accessible in nature, far beyond those achievable in any realistic terrestrial experiment. Theoretical insights into the inflationary era and its observational probes may […]

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: Peter Graham | First 5 Authors: Ricardo Alarcon, Jim Alexander, Vassilis Anastassopoulos, Takatoshi Aoki, Rick Baartman | Summary: Static electric dipole moments of nondegenerate systems probe mass scales for physics beyond the Standard Model well beyond those reached directly at high energy colliders. Discrimination between different physics models, however, requires complementary searches in […]

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 […]
