Impact of modulation on CMB B-mode polarization experiments
We investigate the impact of both slow and fast polarization modulation strategies on the science return of upcoming ground-based experiments aimed at measuring the B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background. Using a full Monte-Carlo analysis of detailed simulations of the ClOVER experiment, we compare the ability of modulated and un-modulated observations to recover the signature o...
متن کاملOptimizing interferometer experiments for CMB B mode measurement
The sensitivity of interferometers with linear polarizers to the CMB E and B mode are variant under the rotation of the polarizer frame, while interferometer with circular polarizers are equally sensitive to E and B mode. We present analytically and numerically that the diagonal elements of window functions for CMB E/B power spectra are maximized in interferometric measurement of linear polariz...
متن کاملMap-making in small field modulated CMB polarisation experiments: approximating the maximum-likelihood method
Map-making presents a significant computational challenge to the next generation of kilopixel CMB polarisation experiments. Years worth of time ordered data (TOD) from thousands of detectors will need to be compressed into maps of the T, Q and U Stokes parameters. Fundamental to the science goal of these experiments, the observation of B-modes, is the ability to control noise and systematics. F...
متن کاملCmb Component Separation by Parameter Estimation
We propose a solution to the CMB component separation problem based on standard parameter estimation techniques. We assume a parametric spectral model for each signal component, and fit the corresponding parameters pixel by pixel in a two-stage process. First we fit for the full parameter set (e.g., component amplitudes and spectral indices) in low-resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio maps...
