Monday December 5, 2011
Organized by Tim Eifler and Michael Mortonson
The Center for Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics (CCAPP) at The Ohio State University (OSU) is holding a workshop on "Dark Energy Survey Theory" in Columbus, Ohio on Monday Dec 5, 2011. Participation is restricted to members of the DES Collaboration.
Agenda
| 9.00 - 9.15 | Discussion of agenda..."what do we want to discuss/achive" |
| 9.15-10.30 | Combining Probes: - General discussion, e.g. combining different posterior probabililties if they are not independent - Specific: Inclusion of WMAP/Planck priors into DES likelihood analysis |
| 10.30 - 11.00 | astro-ph coffee |
| 11.00 - 12.00 | Theoretical uncertainties in likelihood analyses (power spectrum, mass function, covariances) |
| 12.00 - 13.00 | Lunch |
| 13.00 - 14.00 | Seminar talk: "N-body simulations of galaxy clusters: Is overmerging still an issue?" (McPherson 4045) |
| 14.00- 16.00 | Combining WL and Clusters: - joint modeling of nuissance parameters - fit simultaneously for the mass-observable relation and cosmology |
| 16.00 | End coffee / discussions / individual conversations |
Participants
- Heidi Wu (U. of Michigan)
- Dragan Huterer (U. of Michigan)
- Elisabeth Krause (Caltech)
