Analytic Approach to CMB Beam Systematics: Effect on Inflation Science, Lensing Extraction and Cosmic Birefringence
The CMB’s B-mode polarization provides a handle on several cosmological parameters most notably the tensor-to-scalar ratio, r, and is sensitive to parameters which govern the growth of large scale structure (LSS) and evolution of the gravitational potential. These imprint CMB temperature anisotropy and cause E-to-B-mode polarization conversion via gravitational lensing. The CMB has also the pot...
متن کاملImpact of Instrumental Systematic Contamination on the Lensing Mass Reconstruction using the CMB Polarization
In this paper, we study the effects of instrumental systematics on the reconstruction of the deflection angle power spectrum from weak lensing of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization observations. We consider 7 types of effects which are related to known instrumental systematics: calibration, rotation, pointing, spin-flip, monopole leakage, dipole leakage and quadrupol...
متن کاملSPTpol: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements with the South Pole Telescope
SPTpol is a dual-frequency polarization-sensitive camera that was deployed on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol will measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales spanning an arcminute to several degrees. The polarization sensitivity of SPTpol will enable a detection of the CMB “B-mode” polarization from the detection of t...
متن کاملBenchmark Parameters for CMB Polarization Experiments
The recently detected polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) holds the potential for revealing the physics of inflation and gravitationally mapping the large-scale structure of the universe, if so called B-mode signals below 10, or tenths of a μK, can be reliably detected. We provide a language for describing systematic effects which distort the observed CMB temperature and polar...
متن کاملSpider Optimization: Probing the Systematics of a Large Scale B-mode Experiment
Spider is a long-duration, balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure large scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization with very high sensitivity and control of systematics. The instrument will map over half the sky with degree angular resolution in I, Q and U Stokes parameters, in four frequency bands from 96 to 275 GHz. Spider ’s ultimate goal is to detect the primordial gravity ...
