Mapping the Millimeter-wave Sky from the High Chilean Andes
Paul Devlin
U. Penn.

Large scale millimeter-wave surveys of the sky with arcminute resolutionwill produce rich new datasets addressing a wide range of pressingscience questions. The next generation of Cosmic Microwave Background(CMB) instruments such as the Simons Observatory will probe the origins andevolution of the universe and search for primordial gravitational waves andnew light particles. They will also serve a broad scientific communityseeking to understand topics such as galaxy evolution, the transientuniverse, the role of magnetic fields in the interstellar medium in ourGalaxy, and the search for Planet 9 in the Solar System. I will reviewthe evolution of CMB measurement from Chile, the Simons Observatory goalsand status, and plans for the future of CMB in Chile.
