This repository is intended to serve as the main organizing hub for the white paper on the Spec S5 dark matter science cases. These materials reflect contributions from the broad astrophysics community, and were developed in large part over the course of a series of workshops held at the University of Chicago (October 2025) and NOIRLab (March 2026).
Visit the Issues page for a list of hack topics and to-do's.
Preliminary outlines of the main science cases are summarized in these documents:
