Description
This 1-day long Chicagoland-based DES meeting creates a common discussion platform for those who work on Dark Energy Survey at Fermilab, KICP, UChicago, UIUC, NCSA, and Argonne. The ongoing Dark Energy Survey is designed to probe the origin of the accelerating universe and help uncover the nature of dark energy by measuring the 14-billion-year history of cosmic expansion with high precision. Learn more about the survey at http://www.darkenergysurvey.org/. The meeting kicks off a continuing series, with a meeting to be held at one of the participating institutions every two or three months. The first meeting will be held at Argonne National Laboratory on 9th December. The meeting aims to update and discuss various science/infrastructure projects that are going on in Chicagoland and provide a channel for interested people to join ongoing/new projects.
