Abstract
Opening up a new window of millimeter-wave observations that span frequencybands in the range of 30 to 500 GHz, survey half the sky, and are both an orderof magnitude deeper (about 0.5 uK-arcmin) and of higher-resolution (about 10arcseconds) than currently funded surveys would yield an enormous gain inunderstanding of both fundamental physics and astrophysics. In particular, sucha survey would allow for major advances in measuring the distribution of darkmatter and gas on small-scales, and yield needed insight on 1.) dark matterparticle properties, 2.) the evolution of gas and galaxies, 3.) new lightparticle species, 4.) the epoch of inflation, and 5.) the census of bodiesorbiting in the outer Solar System.
