Future CMB Observations Measure EE spectrum to l of 4000-5000 across most of the sky (4 x Planck modes) – 2x improvement on non-Gaussianity constraints Measure BB spectrum – > 100 detection of gravitational lensing – r ~0.001 sensitivity for gravitational waves Probe of low redshift universe – Clusters – KSZ effect (large-scale flows)

The Simons Observatory POLARBEAR/Simons Array ACT A five year, $45M+ program to pursue key Cosmic Microwave Background science targets, and advance technology and infrastructure in preparation for CMB-S4. Merger of the ACT and POLARBEAR/Simons Array teams. Tentative plans include: Major site infrastructure Technology development (detectors, optics, cameras) Demonstration of new high throughput telescopes. CMB-S4 class receivers with partially filled focal planes. Data analysis http://simonsobservatory.org

Combining LSST + CMB-S4 Data Emmanuel Schaan (Princeton), Eifler, Krause, et al. in prep. CMB lensing adds a high redshift source plane with very different systematics and can be used to determine the multiplicative bias in optical lensing surveys
27
Cross-correlating CMB lensing + Lyman alpha Power Spectrum Vallinotto, Das, Spergel & Viel (2009): use cross-correlation to probe relationship between Lyman alpha forest + underlying mass distribution Cyrille Doux (APC), Emmanuel Schaan et al. combine DR12 Lyman alpha forest data with Planck lensing
29
Combining KSZ + LSS Data KSZ traces the large-scale distribution of electrons. Cross-correlations measure the relationship between the large-scale distribution of electrons and the distribution of galaxies Two examples: – Spectroscopic data + CMB (SDSSIII + ACTPOL): Schaan et al. (2016) – Imaging data + CMB (WISE + Planck): Hill et al. (2016)

Conclusions Lots of exciting data in the coming decade – WFIRST – Simons Observatory Exciting Opportunities to use this data to learn about the large scale distribution of electrons, pressure, galaxies and matter. These observations will enable a deeper understanding of important questions in cosmology.
