这本书列出了下一代地基宇宙微波背景实验CMB-S4所要解决的科学目标，设想由南极、智利阿塔卡马高原和可能的北方半球的专用望远镜组成，所有这些望远镜都配备了新的超导相机。CMB-S4将通过跨越临界阈值来极大地推进宇宙学研究，这些临界阈值用于寻找原始引力波的B模式偏振特征，确定中微子的数量和质量，寻找新的光遗迹的证据，限制暗能量的性质，以及在大尺度上测试广义相对论。
This book lays out the scientific goals to be addressed by the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, CMB-S4, envisioned to consist of dedicated telescopes at the South Pole, the high Chilean Atacama plateau and possibly a northern hemisphere site, all equipped with new superconducting cameras. CMB-S4 will dramatically advance cosmological studies by crossing critical thresholds in the search for the B-mode polarization signature of primordial gravitational waves, in the determination of the number and masses of the neutrinos, in the search for evidence of new light relics, in constraining the nature of dark energy, and in testing general relativity on large scales.
