 We held a series of 90 minute meetings for the CF1 topical group in August and September of 2020. These meetings included a mixture of short talks, panels, and general discussion and questions, informed by the responses from the interest survey and the discussion at the kickoff meeting. Thanks to all of you who attended the meetings or filled in the survey.
-Please refer to our Indico page for weekly meeting details, including recordings and real-time minutes of each meeting: https://indico.fnal.gov/category/1193
+In November and December, we held a series of meeting describing our Big Questions White Paper planning, requesting feedback and volunteers to be coordinators and contributors.
-The schedule of topics is:

+====== Big Questions White Papers ======
+In November 2020, we set out ~8 "Big Questions" that could be addressed by the community via white papers. The focus of these papers can still change as the community works together to talk about what is most important, but the topics to first order are listed below, along with paper coordinators and the name of the relevant Snowmass slack channel. Everyone is welcome to contribute, so please contact the CF1 conveners or paper coordinators, or just join the slack channel to get involved.
-**MEETING MATERIALS INCLUDING RECORDING CAN BE FOUND ON INDICO**
+   * Direct detection to the neutrino floor (theory motivation including EFT)
+         * Coordinators: Prisca Cushman, Rick Gaitskell, Cristiano Galbiati, Ben Loer
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp1-direct-detection-neutrino-floor
-[[https://indico.fnal.gov/event/43903/|https://indico.fnal.gov/event/43903/]]
+   * The landscape of low threshold detection in the next decade (theory motivation included by theory of detectors including AMO, bandgaps,etc more in #4)
+         * Coordinators: Graham Giovanetti, Noah Kurinsky, Daniel McKinsey, Tien-Tien Yu
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp2-low-threshold-detection
-----
+   * Calibration/backgrounds for direct detection - focus on cross-experiment cooperation (e.g. materials screening)
+         * Coordinators: Dan Baxter, Raymond Bunker, Sally Shaw, Shawn Westerdale
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp3-calibration-backgrounds-direct
+   * Computing/simulation/modeling/statistics needs for direct detection - we’re sort of thinking of simulation/modeling of new materials - like NEST but for new stuff (theory needed for particle interactions in materials as opposed to particle theory models)
+         * Coordinators: Yoni Kahn, Maria Elena Monzani, Kim Palladino
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp4-comp-model-stats-direct
-Dear Colleagues,
+   * The landscape of cosmic-ray and high-energy photon probes of particle dark matter
+         * Coordinators: Regina Caputo, Stefano Profumo, Philip von Doetinchem
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp5-cosmic-ray-and-photon-probes
-We would like to invite you to participate in the public kick-off meeting of the Snowmass Cosmic Frontier “CF1. Dark Matter: Particle-like" Topical Group on June 26, at 1 pm Eastern time, 10 am Pacific time. For experimentalists, please also circulate this invitation in your collaborations. The agenda and zoom coordinates can be found here:
+   * Puzzling excesses and how we can resolve their origin/existence
+         * Coordinators: Liang Yang, Rebecca Leane, Sam McDermott
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp6-puzzling-excesses
-https://indico.fnal.gov/event/43903/
+   * Synergies between DM searches and multiwavelength/multimessenger astrophysics / understanding astrophysical backgrounds
+         * Coordinators: Shunsaki Horiuchi, Kerstin Perez, Devin Walker
+         * Slack: #cf01-wp7-dm-synergies-with-multiwavelength-astro
-The CF1 topical group focuses on dark matter in the regime where it appears to cosmic frontier experiments/observatories as individual quanta. In particular, this topical group includes direct and indirect detection methods (and to some extent accelerator-based methods, although those are largely covered in other topical groups and frontiers). We draw the “particle-like” vs. “wave-like” boundary at a dark matter mass around 1 eV, with searches for sub-eV dark matter handled by the second CF group, CF2, and heaver dark matter covered in CF1 (this group). More details will be eventually found at the wiki page:
+   * Ultraheavy particle dark matter / probing the heaviest particle dark matter candidates (envisaged to be a shorter paper than some others)
+         * Coordinators: Andrea Albert, Dan Carney
+         * #cf01-wp8-ultraheavy-particle-dm

-The goal of the kickoff meeting will be to describe the process as we see it from CF1, get a broad picture of the scope of possible efforts that might fit into this topical group, prepare for a series of more focused meetings to follow this summer on particular aspects of particle-like dark matter, and get initial feedback from the community..
-To gauge the interest of the community and help organize those meetings, if you are interested in particle-like dark matter in any way, please fill out the following questionnaire:

-In the meantime, make sure you sign up for our email list if you haven’t already, and also join the snowmass slack channels - we will move to exclusively using those forms of communication after this blast email. Details on how to join can be found on the wiki:
-https://snowmass21.org/cosmic/start#communications
-Also, we hope that you are already thinking about your LOIs and white papers, and we will certainly discuss those topics at the meeting. The CF conveners have prepared a template for LOIs that may be useful, found here:
