SUMMARY:Laura Newburgh (Yale U.) " Forefronts of Cosmology: Beyond Standard Model Physics with Upcoming CMB Instruments"
DESCRIPTION:Abstracts\nUpcoming new instruments to measure the polarized CMB promise to provide discriminatory limits on inflation\, the number of light relic particles\, and the sum of the neutrino masses\, ushering in a new era of using the CMB as a probe of particle physics. Achieving these science goals requires highly sensitive instruments that are composed of enormous arrays of low noise detectors. In addition\, systematic errors and foreground removal must be improved to lower the systematics floor below the statistical errors\, necessitating dramatic improvements in calibration precision. In this talk\, I will describe Simons Observatory (coming online in ~2021) and CMB-S4 (coming online in ~2027)\, their science goals\, and how the twin requirements for sensitivity and systematics require a new approach to software for readout\, data acquisition\, and control systems. I will also discuss future directions for cosmology\, including work in 21cm instruments to improve our understanding of the nature of Dark Energy.
