| + | __Space Probes of Inflation and Cosmic Origins and their Complementarity with Sub-orbital Experiments in the Next Decade__ | ||
| + | |||
| + | NASA is funding studies of several Probe class missions, among them is the Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO), a deep polarimetric survey of the entire sky in CMB and nearby frequency bands. The missions will be presented to the 2020 decadal panel. JAXA is conducting a Phase A study of the LiteBIRD mission. This workshop will discuss the science goals of a CMB space mission in the next decade. Such goals include detecting or placing limits on the energy scale of inflation and the physics of quantum gravity, a determination of the mass of the neutrino and constraining the number of light particles in the early Universe, elucidating the nature of dark energy, clarifying the role of dark matter in forming structures, determining the ionization history of the Universe, detecting the structure of galactic magnetic fields over a broad range of angular scales to explain their role in star formation, and creating a legacy survey of the entire sky consisting of thousands of newly-discovered clusters, proto-clusters, | ||

| + | Sub-orbital experiments are now implementing tens of thousands of detectors, and CMB-S4 is seeking funding to implement hundreds of thousands. We will also discuss the characteristics of space-based and sub-orbital-based data sets, how these data will be used together to extract information on fundamental physics and structure formation and evolution on all scales, and how they will complement other astrophysics data sets. A goal of this workshop is to clarify the case for complementarity as it will be presented to the 2020 decadal panel. | ||
