Probing the Weak Gravity Conjecture in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Martin Wolfgang Winkler, Martina Gerbino, Micol Benetti
The weak gravity conjecture imposes severe constraints on natural inflation. A trans-Planckian axion decay constant can only be realized if the potential exhibits an additional (su…
Likelihood methods for CMB experiments
Martina Gerbino, Massimiliano Lattanzi, Marina Migliaccio +6
A great deal of experimental effort is currently being devoted to the precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) sky in temperature and polarisation. Satellites,…
CMB-S4 Decadal Survey APC White Paper
Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead +222
We provide an overview of the science case, instrument configuration and project plan for the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4, for consid…
The Simons Observatory: Astro2020 Decadal Project Whitepaper
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Shunsuke Adachi +280
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment sited on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in Chile that promises to provide breakthrough…
CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan
Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead +222
We present the science case, reference design, and project plan for the Stage-4 ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4.
Planck 2018 results. V. CMB power spectra and likelihoods
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, Y. Akrami +165
This paper describes the 2018 Planck CMB likelihoods, following a hybrid approach similar to the 2015 one, with different approximations at low and high multipoles, and implementin…
Planck 2018 results. VII. Isotropy and Statistics of the CMB
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown +147
Analysis of the Planck 2018 data set indicates that the statistical properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies are in excellent agreement with pre…
Planck 2018 results. IX. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, F. Arroja +157
We analyse the Planck full-mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and E-mode polarization maps to obtain constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). We compare e…
Inflation and Dark Energy from spectroscopy at
Simone Ferraro, Michael J. Wilson, Muntazir Abidi +140
The expansion of the Universe is understood to have accelerated during two epochs: in its very first moments during a period of Inflation and much more recently, at , when D…
Testing Gravity Using Type Ia Supernovae Discovered by Next-Generation Wide-Field Imaging Surveys
A. G. Kim, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +29
In the upcoming decade cadenced wide-field imaging surveys will increase the number of identified Type~Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) from the hundreds to the hundreds of thousands…
Primordial Non-Gaussianity
P. Daniel Meerburg, Daniel Green, Muntazir Abidi +175
Our current understanding of the Universe is established through the pristine measurements of structure in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the distribution and shapes of…
Messengers from the Early Universe: Cosmic Neutrinos and Other Light Relics
Daniel Green, Mustafa A. Amin, Joel Meyers +136
The hot dense environment of the early universe is known to have produced large numbers of baryons, photons, and neutrinos. These extreme conditions may have also produced other lo…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
Neutrino Mass from Cosmology: Probing Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Cora Dvorkin, Martina Gerbino, David Alonso +11
Recent advances in cosmic observations have brought us to the verge of discovery of the absolute scale of neutrino masses. Nonzero neutrino masses are known evidence of new physics…
Science from an Ultra-Deep, High-Resolution Millimeter-Wave Survey
Neelima Sehgal, Ho Nam Nguyen, Joel Meyers +66
Opening up a new window of millimeter-wave observations that span frequency bands in the range of 30 to 500 GHz, survey half the sky, and are both an order of magnitude deeper (abo…
