Dear BICEP and Keck collaborators,
As many of you know, we have been putting together the case for a
research program for investigating cosmic constraints on neutrinos and
inflation, including a new "stage IV" CMB experiment that would deploy
after what we refer to as stage III experiments, which include
Keck+BICEP3 as well as SPT-3G, advanced Polarbear and advanced ACTpol.
We have two documents (attached), one focused on investigating neutrinos
using CMB and LSS measurements, and the other on Inflation using
primarily CMB measurements. These documents have been written to feed
into the Snowmass 2013 planning process for the HEP community, which is
culminating in a review meeting which starts this week.
Please take a look at them and decide whether or not you would like to
be a co-signer (i.e., listed as an author) on one or both documents.
Comments are also most welcome.
Those of you who haven't independently been contacted on this, you can
email your comments and your request to be a co-signer directly to me,
and I will forward them on to co-conveners John Carlstrom and Adrian
Lee. You can also forward your comments/request to Chao-Lin or to Clem
who are both heavily engaged in this. This will help the conveners from
being flooded as this call goes out to the broader CMB community.
We have a week or so before the documents will be posted on arXiv.
thanks, John
