  • Interagency Task Force on CMB Research (TFCR)
    To: Interagency Task Force on CMB Research (TFCR) Task force members ------------------ James Bock (JPL) Sarah Church (Stanford) Mark Devlin (U. Penn) Gary Hinshaw (GSFC) Andrew Lange (Caltech) Adrian Lee (Berkeley) Lyman Page (Princeton) Bruce Partridge (Haverford) John Ruhl (Case Western) Max Tegmark (MIT/U. Penn) Peter Timbie (Wisconsin) Bruce Winstein (Chicago) Mathias Zaldarriaga (Harvard) Agency observers ------------------- Kathy Turner (DOE) Robin Staffin (DOE) Michael Salamon (NASA) Paul Hertz (NASA) Nigel Sharp (NSF,AST) Beverly Berger (NSF,PHY) Vladimir Papitashvili (NSF,OPP) Thank you joining the Task Force. The purposes of this note are: 1) to tell you of the expectations and schedule for the Task Force and to arrange for the meetings, 2) to suggest some procedures, 3) to focus our thinking by providing a draft outline of our final report to the agencies. CHARTER and EXPECTATIONS ----------------------- A good place to begin is with the letter I received from Kathy Turner, Michael Salamon and Nigel Sharp which is, in effect, a charter for the committee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thank you for agreeing to chair the interagency Task Force on CMB Research (TFCR). This group will report to the agencies, through the InterAgency TFCR Working Group (IATWG) as part of our coordinated response to "Connecting Quarks to the Cosmos" (the Turner report). The function of the TFCR is to address the basic question of how we can measure the CMB polarization. To quote the OSTP report, "The three agencies will work together to develop by 2005 a roadmap for decisive measurements of both types of CMB polarization. The road map will address needed technology development and ground-based, balloon-based, and space-based CMB polarization measurements." One cannot divorce polarization from the CMB itself, which is why the title of this group does not include polarization.
