July 7, 2008SLAC Annual Program ReviewPage 7 LSST Science Requirements focus on 4 Representative and Divergent Programs LSST enables multiple investigations into our understanding of the universe Dark Energy-Dark Matter Exploring our Solar System LSST will find 90% of hazardous NEOs down to 140 m in 10 yrs “Movie” of the Universe: time domain Mapping the Milky Way LSST will map the rich and complex structure of our Galaxy. Discovering the transient and unknown on multiple time scales

July 7, 2008SLAC Annual Program ReviewPage 8 Key LSST Mission: Dark Energy Precision measurements of all four dark energy signatures in a single data set. Separately measure geometry and growth of dark matter structure vs cosmic time. Weak gravitational lensing correlations (multiple lensing probes!) Baryon acoustic oscillations Counts of dark matter clusters Supernovae to redshift 0.8 (complementary to JDEM) Probe anisotropy! LSST unique
