Search for Linear Polarization of the Cosmic Background Radiation
W e present pre l iminary measurements of t h e l i n e a r p o l a r i z a t i o n of t h e cosmic microwave background ( 3 ° K blackbody) r a d i a t i o n . These ground-based measurements are made a t 9 mm wavelength. We f i n d no evidence f o r l i n e a r p o l a r i z a t i o n , and se t an upper l i m i t f o r a po la r i zed component of 0.8 m°K with a 95% confidence level. This imp...
متن کاملPolarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
The CMB radiation is completely characterized by its temperature anisotropy and polarization in each direction in the sky. Today, studies of the temperature anisotropies in the CMB have provided strong constraints on many of the cosmological parameters. However, for precision cosmology we still need to consider the polarization information of the CMB to break some of the degenerecies that exist...
متن کاملLarge-scale polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
The anisotropy and polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) induced by the scalar and tensor metric perturbations are computed in the long-wavelength limit. It is found that the large-scale polarization of CMBR induced by the decaying tensor mode can reach a few percents. This is different from the scalar or inflation-induced tensor mode, whereas the polarization is at l...
متن کاملMeasuring the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) polarization with QUIET
— A major goal of upcoming experiments measuring the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) is to reveal the subtle signature of inflation in the polarization pattern which requires unprecedented sensitivity and control of systematics. Since the sensitivity of single receivers has reached fundamental limits future experiments will take advantage of large receiver arrays in order to signif...
متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background Polarization
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy is our richest source of cosmological information; the standard cosmological model was largely established thanks to study of the temperature anisotropies. By the end of the decade, the Planck satellite will close this important chapter and move us deeper into the new frontier of polarization measurements. Numerous ground–based and balloon–borne expe...
