The Status of the CMB Stage IV Experiment |
|
Abstract |
The 'Stage-4' ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment, CMB-S4, consists of dedicated telescopes equipped with highly sensitive superconducting cameras operating at the South Pole, the high Chilean Atacama plateau, and possibly northern hemisphere sites. CMB-S4 will be designed to cross critical thresholds in testing inflation, determining the number and masses of the neutrinos, constraining possible new light relic particles, providing precise constraints on the nature of dark energy, and testing general relativity on large scales. In this contribution, we review the status of the project. |
