View source for Notes from March 28 telecon on science requirements for clusters/high-ell

Agenda Items:

* Merging dark energy rows
* Simulation plan
* Progress on measurement requirements


'''* Item 1:''' Delayed discussion to a later telecon

'''* Item 2:''' 
*Simulation plan structured around three levels:
** L1. Analytic Fisher predictions (current state);
** L2. Injection of clusters into simulated sky maps (elements in place; can produce results on months timescale);
** L3. Full N-body + hydro simulations (longer term);

* Several groups engaged: ANL, Battaglia/CITA, Paris, SLAC.

* Will see how to merge with simulation effort at low-ell; levels 2 and 3 above could provide inputs for mock sky maps.

* '''Item 3:''' 
** First pass on measurement requirements with numbers TBC by simulations at level 2.
** Will specify requirements in terms of sky coverage, angular resolution, sensitivity and frequency bands.
** Opinion expressed that nu>220 bands will be necessary.  Study required with simulations at level 2.

'''Actions:''' 
* Need to close loop on z binning for sigma8(z) requirement (Mat, Nick)
