ICBCBench: An Industry Consortium Benchmark for Financial Deep Research

With the rapid advancement of Deep Research Agents in knowledge-intensive domains such as finance, establishing reliable and domain-aligned evaluation standards remains a critical challenge. Existing benchmarks focus on either closed-ended question answering or open-ended report evaluation, failing to jointly capture retrieval-reasoning accuracy and end-to-end research quality required in real-world workflows. We introduce ICBCBench, a consortium-driven benchmark for financial deep research, developed in collaboration with domain experts from a broad range of financial institutions and academia, involving over 50 experts across more than 40 organizations. It adopts a dual-track paradigm integrating objective tasks with verifiable answers and subjective long-form report evaluation, enabling complementary assessment of retrieval-reasoning accuracy and end-to-end report quality in terms of expert alignment, citation consistency, and source quality. Experiments on state-of-the-art DRAs and large language models reveal substantial gaps in complex reasoning, factual grounding, and report quality, highlighting the challenges of achieving industry-level performance. Our dataset and evaluation framework are available at https://github.com/DeepFin-Intelligence/ICBCBench.

A Hydro-Particle-Mesh Code for Efficient and Rapid Simulations of the Intracluster Medium

We introduce the cosmological HYPER code based on an innovative hydro-particle-mesh (HPM) algorithm for efficient and rapid simulations of gas and dark matter. For the HPM algorithm, we update the approach of Gnedin & Hui (1998) to expand the scope of its application from the lower-density intergalactic medium (IGM) to the higher-density intracluster medium (ICM). While the original algorithm tracks only one effective particle species, the updated version separately tracks the gas and dark matter particles as they do not exactly trace each other on small scales. For the approximate hydrodynamics solver, the pressure term in the gas equations of motion is calculated using robust physical models. In particular, we use a dark matter halo model, ICM pressure profile, and IGM temperature-density relation, all of which can be systematically varied for parameter-space studies. We show that the HYPER simulation results are in good agreement with the halo model expectations for the density, temperature, and pressure radial profiles. Simulated galaxy cluster scaling relations for Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) and X-ray observables are also in good agreement with mean predictions, with scatter comparable to that found in hydrodynamic simulations. HYPER also produces lightcone catalogs of dark matter halos and full-sky tomographic maps of the lensing convergence, SZ effect, and X-ray emission. These simulation products are useful for testing data analysis pipelines, generating training data for machine learning, understanding selection and systematic effects, and for interpreting astrophysical and cosmological constraints.

Debiased Galaxy Cluster Pressure Profiles from X-ray Observations and Simulations

We present an updated model for the average cluster pressure profile, adjusted for hydrostatic mass bias by combining results from X-ray observations with cosmological simulations. Our model estimates this bias by fitting a power-law to the relation between the "true" halo mass and X-ray cluster mass in hydrodynamic simulations (IllustrisTNG, BAHAMAS, and MACSIS). As an example application, we consider the REXCESS X-ray cluster sample and the Universal Pressure Profile (UPP) derived from scaled and stacked pressure profiles. We find adjusted masses, $M_\mathrm{500c},$ that are $\lesssim$15% higher and scaled pressures $P/P_\mathrm{500c}$ that have $\lesssim$35% lower normalization than previously inferred. Our Debiased Pressure Profile (DPP) is well-fit by a Generalized Navarro-Frenk-White (GNFW) function, with parameters $[P_0,c_{500},α,β,γ]=[5.048,1.217,1.192,5.490,0.433]$ and does not require a mass-dependent correction term. When the DPP is used to model the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, we find that the integrated Compton $Y-M$ relation has only minor deviations from self-similar scaling. The thermal SZ angular power spectrum is lower in amplitude by approximately 30%, assuming nominal cosmological parameters (e.g. $Ω_\text{m}=0.3$, $σ_8 = 0.8$), and is broadly consistent with recent Planck results without requiring additional bias corrections.

The Simons Observatory: Science goals and forecasts

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new cosmic microwave background experiment being built on Cerro Toco in Chile, due to begin observations in the early 2020s. We describe the scientific goals of the experiment, motivate the design, and forecast its performance. SO will measure the temperature and polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background in six frequency bands: 27, 39, 93, 145, 225 and 280 GHz. The initial configuration of SO will have three small-aperture 0.5-m telescopes (SATs) and one large-aperture 6-m telescope (LAT), with a total of 60,000 cryogenic bolometers. Our key science goals are to characterize the primordial perturbations, measure the number of relativistic species and the mass of neutrinos, test for deviations from a cosmological constant, improve our understanding of galaxy evolution, and constrain the duration of reionization. The SATs will target the largest angular scales observable from Chile, mapping ~10% of the sky to a white noise level of 2 $μ$K-arcmin in combined 93 and 145 GHz bands, to measure the primordial tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, at a target level of $σ(r)=0.003$. The LAT will map ~40% of the sky at arcminute angular resolution to an expected white noise level of 6 $μ$K-arcmin in combined 93 and 145 GHz bands, overlapping with the majority of the LSST sky region and partially with DESI. With up to an order of magnitude lower polarization noise than maps from the Planck satellite, the high-resolution sky maps will constrain cosmological parameters derived from the damping tail, gravitational lensing of the microwave background, the primordial bispectrum, and the thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects, and will aid in delensing the large-angle polarization signal to measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio. The survey will also provide a legacy catalog of 16,000 galaxy clusters and more than 20,000 extragalactic sources.
