Cosmology Lunchtime Seminar
in 435 Physics
Speaker: Kyle Zilic, University of Minnesota
Subject: Experimental Design of EBEX
I will discuss the design specifications that drove the design of the CMB polarization anisotropy experiment EBEX. In particular, I will focus on the need for detector sensitivity in order to measure the B-mode polarization signature to a chosen level, the ability to isolate and subtract foreground sources such as polarized dust signal, and need to reduce systematic error to reduce E-B mixing.
