February 16, 2016 - Tuesday
8:30 AM - 9:00 AMContinental Breakfast
9:00 AM - 9:15 AMWelcome (Estrada)
9:15 AM - 9:45 AMExperimental Parameters5 minute talks about different approaches for future low-res wide field spectroscopy. We ask each speaker to estimate the experimental parameters that could be achieved in a potential low resolution survey (LRS) with their technology in 2020s. These parameters are: Ngals, area, magnitude limit, spectral resolution (R), σz and catastrophic failure rate in z determination, spectral coverage. This experimental parameters will be used for the developing forecasts during the workshop.

Technologies:
  • PAU (5') - Castander
  • PRIMUS (5') - Zhu
  • MKIDs (5') - Estrada
  • SPHEREX (5') - Dore
  • 4MOST (5') - Giannantonio
  • JPAS (5') - Hernadez-Monteaugo
9:45 AM - 10:30 AMDiscussion about experimental parameters for forecasts

  • Spectroscopy needs for LSST 10' (Newman)
  • BAO with low resolution spectra 10' (Castander)
  • Gigaz forecast - Weak Lensing 10' (TBA)
  • Combining Spectroscopy and Photometric surveys 10' (Eriksen)
  • Synergies between the SPHEREx data set and DES/Euclid/LSST/WFIRST 10' (TBA)
  • Supernovae 10' (Scolnic)
  • Clusters 10' (Soares-Santos)
12:00 PM - 12:30 PMDiscussion
Organize groups produce the forecasts using the LRS with paremeters discussed during the first morning session. The suggested groups are: (i) Supernovae, (ii) Galaxy Clusters, (iii) Weak Lensing, (iv) Large Scale Structure, (v) Photo-z Calibrations and (vi) Cross Correlations.
