  1. Appendix E: Intro to the Banff Feb06 Annual Meeting See the body of the text, Section 3.2, for an introduction to this introduction. The slides were taken from the Planning Meeting summary (with small updates) associated with the C&G Annual Meeting in Mont Tremblant in March 2005 Notes on slides: The proposed C&G components and some of the questions being addressed are shown in the second slide. The dark matter abundance has gone down to ~0.2 with WMAP3 and the dark energy up to ~0.7 Not all of the experiments shown in the timelines will go (e.g. Constellation X may fall victim to NASA funding problems for fundamental science missions.

  10. Astroparticle Experiment Timeline • 2004 TeV gamma ray astronomy – now • 2006/07 onwards multi-messenger astronomy • 1019 eV cosmic rays in 2006 • neutrinos (IceCube) in 2010 • 2007 SNOLAB space available • next-generation dark matter searches 2008/09 • exploration of neutrino properties 2008/09 • double beta decay • neutrino-matter interactions • “new physics” – neutrino physics is the only “beyond the Standard Model”

  11. Direct Measurements of Dark Matter From Angel Morales

  12. The Top 10 Galaxy Formation Puzzles(in no particular order) • 1) What is the origin of the characteristic mass of galaxies? • 2) Why does the CDM halo mass function differ so drastically from the galaxy luminosity function: • Why does the luminosity function cutoff exponentially? • What sets the faint end slope? • 4) Why are big galaxies old and small ones young? • 5) Is the spatial distribution of dark matter within galaxies consistent with CDM halos?

  13. The Top 10 Galaxy Formation Puzzles • 6) When did the first luminous objects form and what are their descendants? • What/When/How did the universe reionize? • 7) Where are all the baryons at low-z? • 8) How prevalent are galactic winds and what is the role of Active Galactic Nuclei? • 9) How much star formation is obscured? • 10) How did supermassive black holes form and how do they relate to the formation of stars?
