Fundamental Physics with the Next Generation of Large Scale Structure Surveys
The next generation of large scale structure (LSS) surveys will map out the universe in unprecedented detail, and are poised to answer long standing questions such as what were the initial conditions? and what is causing the mysterious accelerated cosmic expansion? Transformative techniques in computational astrophysics are now emerging as the optimal ways to extract information from these enormous surveys, with the possibility of realistic and routine simulations of the entire sky, for large ensembles of model universe realizations, finally within reach. I will describe work we have been doing to make this a reality, focusing on a new pipeline for efficiently generating high resolution simulated maps of the extragalactic sky from the radio to optical. I will then describe how these full sky simulations are being used to guide the design of coming LSS surveys. I will conclude with what questions are likely to be answered in the next decade and speculate about what sorts of surprising new discoveries may await.
