LBNL-2020: Cosmology with CMB-S4

Workshop overview

This workshop continues a successful series of meetings bringing together the CMB experimental and theoretical community to plan a coordinated, stage-4 ground-based CMB experiment.

Due to COVID-19 quarantining the meeting will be held entirely remotely, 9:00am to 1:30pm Pacific Daylight Time, Monday March 30th to Thursday April 2nd.

Meeting Info & Registration

Please continue to register at the website despite the remote nature of the event.

Remote Meeting Considerations

All sessions will be held remotely by zoom.

• Plenary sessions will all use https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/912694106
• Parallel sessions will have connection details on their wiki page

All participants should

• Connect using a browser or the zoom app if at all possible so that you can use the "raise hand" button to contribute, especially in the plenary sessions.
• Connect with a full name so that the session convenors and other participants can identify you.
• Mute your line whenever you are not speaking.
• Disable video so that we don't overwhelm participants with limited bandwidth.
• Join the #lbnl2020 channel on the CMB-S4 Slack workspace, email zonca@sdsc.edu if you need an invitation
