Princeton-2018: Cosmology with CMB-S4

Workshop overview

The Princeton 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. The workshop is supported by Princeton University with a generous contribution from the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics.

This meeting will focus on moving us towards the Decadal Survey and project formation. Each day will have a different flavor:

• Thursday - Collaboration, Project and Decadal Survey Report updates and discussion
• Friday - Broader community building ahead of the Decadal Process
• Saturday - Parallel Science & Technical Council sessions
