Next BigBOSS Collaboration Meeting From Pengjie: • Date: March 27-29, 2013 • Hotel: Ramada hotel, Xujiahui district, Shanghai. Ramada conveniently locates at Shanghai downtown. SJTU has a nice deal with Ramada and the discount rate is ~ 80 $/day. • Meeting: Minhang campus, Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU). It is located in a Shanghai suburb. We will have shuttles in the morning from Ramada to SJTU and from SJTU to Ramada after the meeting. • Registration fee: 1000 RMB (~160$) to cover banquet, lunch, coffee break, and other costs (e.g. shuttle/meeting rooms). • We plan to have a cruise banquet at the landmark HuangPu river.
Conclusion • BigBOSS: Stage IV ground-based Dark Energy survey • Key-sciences (80% of fibers)+ community science (20% of fibers) • Feasibility of technologies: • 2010-2012: WBS2 (R&D) • 2013- : WBS3 • 2017- : first light?
