This report summarizes the envisioned research activities as gathered from the Snowmass 2021 CF5 working group concerning Dark Energy and Cosmic Acceleration: Cosmic Dawn and Before. The scientific goals are to study inflation and to search…

Observations of high redshift supernovae indicate that the universe is accelerating. The hypothesis of `Dark energy' (cosmological constant, scalar field tracker potentials, braneworld models, etc.) has been advanced to explain this…
