Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to a workshop "Cosmology with the CMB and its
Polarization" to be held in downtown Minneapolis next January 14-17
(Wednesday-Saturday), and sponsored by our Fine Institute for Theoretical
Physics. The purpose of the workshop is to assemble the US and international
CMB community to assess the current status of experimental and theoretical
studies, and to look forward to the future.
The workshop will start with several presentations on the full mission Planck
results to be announced this fall. There will then be a comprehensive review
of the status of ground based and sub-orbital experimental programs, and of
current theoretical aspects. We will also have a report on the upcoming
European M4 proposal for a post-Planck space mission and a discussion about
NASA's plans for CMB and participation in M4. The workshop will end with a
meeting of those interested in the next generation CMB S4 polarization project
recently endorsed by the US P5 HEP advisory committee. With all the current
activity in the field it should be an exciting meeting!
The meeting will be held in the Marquette Hotel in downtown Minneapolis which
is connected to the Skyway system giving easy indoor access to many other
hotels and restaurants etc.
Thanks to the sponsorship of FTPI there will be no registration fee. Please
register your interest in attending the workshop at the following website:
http://www.ftpi.umn.edu/workshops/2014-2015/cmb2015
Due to limited space, and to ensure a balance of participants, we will need to
approve registrations. Talks are by invitation only although suggestions and
contributed posters are both very welcome.
Best Regards,
Clem, Keith, Marco and Shaul
P.S. We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message. Likewise
please forward this message to relevant collaboration mailing lists and any
other colleagues who may be interested.
