Juhan Kim KIAS

BigBOSS will enlarge redshift-space maps to 21 million objects

10X larger than SDSS + SDSS-II + BOSS

Necessary for Stage IV dark energy from BAO, RSD 0.6 million QSOs 16 million ELGs 4 million LRGs

BAO: baryonic Acoustic Oscillation Stage I: first detection by SDSS-I Stage II: SDSS-I, II, Wiggle Z Stage III: 3x better than Stage II: BOSS, HETDEX Stage IV: 10x better than Stage II: BigBOSS

Apr 2009 – BigBOSS white paper submitted to decadal survey Jun 2009 – BigBOSS RFP response to Astro2010 Decadal Survey submitted and committee oral presentation Jul 2009 – BigBOSS presentation to the Particle Astrophysics Scientific Assessment Group (PASAG) Oct 2009 – The Particle Astrophysics Scientific Assessment Group (a subpanel of the NSF/DOE HEPAP Federal Advisory Committee) states: “Substantial immediate support is recommended for BigBOSS R&D” Nov 2009 – First BigBOSS collaboration meeting (LBNL) Dec 2009 – NOAO Call for proposals for Large Science Programs Mar 2010 – Letter of Intent Submitted to NOAO Sep 2010 – Astro2010 Decadal Survey Panel Report on Optical and Infrared Astronomy from the Ground identifies massively multiplexed spectroscopy as an essential capability Sep 2010 – Astro2010 Decadal Survey NWNH report calls BigBOSS a “compelling” medium-scale project. “The Program Prioritization Panels recommended very highly a subset of these…” where BigBOSS is 1 of the 4 such recommendations in the $40M to $120M range

Oct 2010 – The full 280 page BigBOSS proposal was submitted by a large international team that is led by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and includes 16 US institutions as well as international partners Nov 2010 – NOAO convenes external non-advocate review (Schmidt committee ) of BigBOSS Dec 2010 – Strong scientific endorsement of BigBOSS from the Schmidt committee.

Received a strong endorsement in the review report Sep 2012 – Mission need of MS-DESI (Mid-scale Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) signed by DOE Office of Science for Mayall and Blanco Oct 2012 – Fourth BigBOSS collaboration meeting (Paris) Dec 2012 – Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation awards $2.1 M grant to BigBOSS Mar 2013 – Fifth BigBOSS collaboration meeting (Shanghai)

Neutrino properties
