SUMMARY:Speaker: Suk Sien Tie - Ohio State University
DESCRIPTION:Title: Cosmology with the Lya forest: beyond two-point statistics\, DESI instrumentation \nAbstract: The Lyman-alpha forest is currently the only probe of cosmology and the state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) between redshifts of z=2 and 6. It’s higher-order clustering\, specifically its three-point correlation function (3PCF)\, contains information that can help to constrain fluctuations in the ionizing background and temperature fields of the IGM\, thus providing a novel way to constrain their effects on cosmological analyses of the LyA forest. In this talk\, I will present theoretical predictions of the 3PCF of the LyA forest\, considering both a uniform and spatially varying UV background. I will discuss the exciting possibilities that future surveys like DESI will enable in this area. Finally\, I will present my instrumentation work on the DESI sky camera and the fiber positioner anti-collision algorithm\, and how they facilitate the DESI survey to achieve its science goals.
