abstract
In this white paper, we present the MegaMapper concept. The MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts at $2<z<5$. In order to achieve path-breaking results with a mid-scale investment, the MegaMapper combines existing technologies for critical path elements and pushes innovative development in other design areas. To this aim, we envision a 6.5-m Magellan-like telescope, with a newly designed wide field, coupled with DESI spectrographs, and small-pitch robots to achieve multiplexing of at least 26,000. This will match the expected achievable target density in the redshift range of interest and provide a 10x capability over the existing state-of the art, without a 10x increase in project budget.

Impact and measurability of linear relativistic effects in galaxy surveys
Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.

Unbiased analysis of primordial non-Gaussianity: the multipoles of the full relativistic power spectrum
Integrated relativistic (lensing, ISW, time-delay) corrections to power-spectrum multipoles bias predicted f_NL constraints by ~3σ (Euclid) and ~20σ (MegaMapper); a bright-faint split partly offsets the luminosity-fun...

LATIS: Comparing Galaxy and IGM Tomography Maps as Tracers of Large-scale Structure and Protoclusters at $z \sim 2.5$
At z ~ 2.5, IGM absorption and Lyman-break galaxy density match a simple model almost everywhere, but 4 of the 16 strongest absorption peaks are unusually poor in galaxies, motivating a UV-dim protocluster population.

Patchy Helium and Hydrogen Reionization from the Kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect and Galaxies
Forecasts show that cross-correlating kSZ temperature-squared maps with galaxy-reconstructed velocity-squared maps can jointly constrain hydrogen and helium reionization, making helium measurable with CMB-HD and MegaMapper.

The ACCEL2 Project: Precision Measurements of EFT Parameters and BAO Peak Shifts for the Lyman-$\alpha$ Forest
A one-loop EFT model matches ACCEL2 Lyman-alpha forest simulations well and predicts BAO scale shifts of roughly -0.2 to -0.3 percent at z=2.

Neutrino masses from large-scale structures: future sensitivity and theory dependence
Forecasted 1-sigma sensitivity to the sum of neutrino masses is 15 meV for Planck+DESI and 7 meV for CMB-S4+MegaMapper, with the one-loop bispectrum providing 10% and 30% of the constraining power.
