CMB-HD: Astro2020 RFI Response
Abstract
CMB-HD is a proposed ultra-deep (0.5 uk-arcmin), high-resolution (15 arcseconds) millimeter-wave survey over half the sky that would answer many outstanding questions in both fundamental physics of the Universe and astrophysics. This survey would be delivered in 7.5 years of observing 20,000 square degrees, using two new 30-meter-class off-axis cross-Dragone telescopes to be located at Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert. Each telescope would field 800,000 detectors (200,000 pixels), for a total of 1.6 million detectors.

Response to request for information (RFI) by the Panel of Radio, Millimeter, and Submillimeter Observations from the Ground (RMS) of the Astro2020 Decadal Survey regarding the CMB-HD APC (arXiv:1906.10134). Note some text overlap with original APC. Note also detector count and cost have been reduced by 1/3, and observing time increased by 1/3 compared to original APC; science goals expanded
