Large surveys, such as Euclid, Rubin, and Roman, will soon enable groundbreaking tests of fundamental physics. In this new era of cosmology, experiments that combine multiple independent datasets will enable more powerful tests than any single technique.
This workshop brings together experts working on cosmic probes of dark matter substructure and fundamental physics to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with probe combination experiments. In particular, we will discuss optimum strategies for combining inferences from near field (dwarf galaxies, stellar streams) and extragalactic (gravitational lensing, the Lyman-alpha forest) probes, and how to connect these distinct kinds of observations to theoretical predictions across a wide range of halo masses and cosmic time.
The format of the workshop will include a mix of review and contributed talks, with ample unstructured time for discussion and collaboration.
