High Energy Theory and Cosmology Workshops at the Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Michigan
The workshop “Modeling Dark Energy Observations in the Nonlinear Regime”, informally called the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year-3 workshop, took place on Oct 15-19, 2018 at the University of Michigan. It included about 50 cosmologists - all DES members - from three continents. The goal of the workshop was to make concrete, quantifiable progress on the data analysis that will be a core component for the DES Year-3 release. The DES Y3 results, when completed, will produce world?s best constraints on dark matter and dark energy from a galaxy survey, and will also pave way for similar analyses from LSST, WFIRST and other major surveys in the 1-2 decades to come. The workshop, true to its name, primarily consisted of a number of parallel working sessions and hack-a-thons where progress was made on concrete tasks. Also of note were several comprehensive reviews of the status of different parts of the modeling/analysis pipeline. The workshop also served an important purpose of getting collaborators together to clarify and prioritize upcoming efforts, tasks and scientific goals. The primary local organizer was Dragan Huterer; Yuanyuan Zhang (Fermilab) and Michael Troxel (Ohio State) served as external organizers.
