• The SDT will provide input to DOE and NASA on
  priorities for the science questions of a
  space-based mission investigating the nature of
  dark energy.
• The SDT will produce a Science Requirements
  Document. This document will include the
  prioritized science objectives and requirements
  for the dark energy investigation of the JDEM
  mission. The science requirements document may
  optionally also identify strawman plans for parts
  of the mission. The SDT will also provide input
  on education and outreach that can best engage
  the public in this mission.
• The SDT will discuss all scientific aspects of
  the JDEM mission. In addition to scientific
  goals and design requirements, the SDT will
  provide input to NASA and DOE on topics related
  to, for example, policy on the scientific use of
  the satellite during the general observer phase,
  the operation of the satellite, and data analysis
  and data archiving standards and policies.
• The SDT will undertake studies and provide input
  on topics requested by DOE or NASA or any future
  JDEM pre-project planning office on science
  requirements and goals for the dark energy
  investigation.

JDEM Science Definition Report

• Executive summary
• Purpose of this Document
• (repetition of the charge to the SDT quotes
  from previous roadmaps, decadal surveys, NAS
  studies, etc.)
• Science Introduction
• What do we mean by dark energy? Why we think
  theres such a thing?
• What are some of the possibilities for what the
  dark energy might be?
• What physical properties describe the dark
  energy? e.g.
  sound speed, acceleration of the expansion, w,
  w, etc.
• What types of measurements constrain the
  properties of the dark energy
  
  e.g. SN, weak lensing,
  CMB, etc.
• The Need to Go to Space
• Ancillary Science
• High Level Science Requirement

SDT Theory
Linder

• Top level science requirements
• How do we define requirements?
• 1 on distance
• 1 on a(t) ?, for a(?)
• 0.05 on w, 0.1 on w? ?
• distinguishing benchmark models
• Necessity for complementary measurements, ?
  necessity for expansiongrowth measurements. ?
• Revelatory and Robust
