Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: David J. Schlegel, Juna A. Kollmeier, Greg Aldering, Stephen Bailey, Charles Baltay | Summary: In this white paper, we present the MegaMapper concept. The MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts at $2<z<5$. In order to achieve […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: David J. Schlegel, Simone Ferraro, Greg Aldering, Charles Baltay, Segev BenZvi | Summary: In this white paper, we present an experimental road map for spectroscopic experiments beyond DESI. DESI will be a transformative cosmological survey in the 2020s, mapping 40 million galaxies and quasars and capturing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Ethan O. Nadler, Philip Mansfield, Yunchong Wang, Xiaolong Du, Susmita Adhikari | Summary: We present Symphony, a compilation of $262$ cosmological, cold dark matter-only zoom-in simulations spanning four decades of host halo mass, from $10^{11}~M_{mathrm{odot}}$ to $10^{15}~M_{mathrm{odot}}$. This compilation includes three existing simulation suites at the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Arlene Aleman | Summary:Direct imaging characterization of extrasolar planets is often done at low spectral resolution. We model the spectrograph for the Gemini Planet Imager upgrade (GPI 2.0) and assess the instrument’s potential for allowing observers to constrain exoplanet properties through analysis of near-infrared spectra. We simulated noisy observations followed by calculations of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kent D. Irwin | First 5 Authors: Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Josef C. Frisch, Shawn W. Henderson, Max Silva-Feaver | Summary: We describe the newest generation of the SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) electronics, a warm digital control and readout system for microwave-frequency resonator-based cryogenic detector and multiplexer systems such as microwave SQUID multiplexers […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary:We describe the newest generation of the SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) electronics, a warm digital control and readout system for microwave-frequency resonator-based cryogenic detector and multiplexer systems such as microwave SQUID multiplexers ($μ$mux) or microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs). Ultra-sensitive measurements in particle physics and astronomy increasingly rely on large […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Andrew P. Cooper, Sergey E. Koposov, Carlos Allende Prieto, Christopher J. Manser, Namitha Kizhuprakkat | Summary: We describe the Milky Way Survey (MWS) that will be undertaken with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Mayall 4m Telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. Over […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Xing Fan, Gerald Gabrielse, Peter W. Graham, Roni Harnik, Thomas G. Myers | Summary: We propose using trapped electrons as high-$Q$ resonators for detecting meV dark photon dark matter. When the rest energy of the dark photon matches the energy splitting of the two lowest cyclotron […]
