The intent is to bring together researchers working on all
aspects of the
cosmic microwave background. This will include anisotropies and
polarization from the epoch of recombination as well as from the
Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The workshop will allow us to digest exciting
new results from an array of experiments and satellites, and to think
about where to go next with the CMB. We look forward to fruitful
interactions between experimentalists and theorists and a workshop
environment (namely time for discussion and few "boiler-plate" talks) that
will foster new collaborative efforts.
We anticipate a larger (~40
people) attendance during the first week (Jul 10-14) which will focus
intensively on presentations and discussion of recent experimental
results. This will be followed by two subsequent weeks with an expected
attendance of roughly 20 people. An important aspect of an ITP
mini-program is the presence of a strong core of three week participants.
We understand that experimentalists may find it difficult to schedule
attendance for more than one week. We thus hope that experimentalists
will be able to join us at least for the first week (and would be more
than welcome to stay for a longer period). Among theorists, short stays
will be considered, but preference will be given to those able to remain
at Santa Barbara during the entire three-week period. We have a limited
budget to help defray the expenses of participants in the program. The
coordinators are Sarah Church: schurch@leland.stanford.edu, Bill
Holzapfel: swlh@socrates.berkeley.edu, Marc Kamionkowski:
kamion@tapir.caltech.edu, and
Martin White: mwhite@cfa.harvard.edu. Please feel free to contact any of
them for information
about the scope of the program.
Please apply as soon as possible. We intend to begin inviting participants before the end of March. Last modified: February 29, 2000 ds
