The goals of the inflation sessions are...
Session Organizers:
- Coordinators: Lloyd Knox
- Moderators:
- break-out session 1: Jo Dunkley
- break-out session 2: Raphael Flauger
- break-out session 3: Sarah Shandera
Some questions we may want to address / items for discussion:
- It would probably be useful to have a review of the assumptions made for the Snowmass forecasting.
- What are key aspects of that forecasting that should be improved?
- What theoretical model spaces should we consider for forecasting? That is, what parameters that are nuisances from an inflation standpoint, should we include?
- The Snowmass document is pretty thin in terms of specific forecasts for constraints on non-Gaussianity. What should we add?
- How will progress on non-Gaussianity constraints compare to what will be happening with galaxy surveys? How are they complementary?
- How will CMB-S4 lensing in particular help with non-Gaussianity studies from LSS surveys?
- Would CMB-S4 help at all with curvature, given DESI BAO? Maybe by helping to distinguish between neutrino mass and/or variation from w = -1?
Break-out sessions:
- Break-out Session 1: B-modes challenges: foregrounds and de-lensing
- Break-out Session 2
- Break-out Session 3
- Inflation Summary
