Setting requirements on out-of-band rejection for next-generation CMB experiments. Application to the LiteBIRD instrument
L. Mousset, L. Montier, J. Aumont +15
Next-generation cosmic microwave background experiments have very stringent constraints to achieve the required sensitivity to target polarization modes. In this work, we inten…
Systematic effect induced by misalignment in a Reflective Polarization Modulator for CMB, and application to the LiteBIRD case
S. Stellati, F. Piacentini, S. Micheli +10
[Abridged] The LiteBIRD mission aims to measure the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization with unprecedented precision, targeting the detection of primordial B modes and a…
Mitigating half-wave plate systematics at the map-making level: calibration requirements for LiteBIRD
N. Raffuzzi, A. Carones, M. Monelli +101
Although half-wave plates (HWPs) are becoming a popular choice of polarization modulators for cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, their non-idealities can introduce syst…
First release of LiteBIRD simulations from an end-to-end pipeline
M. Bortolami, N. Raffuzzi, L. Pagano +107
The LiteBIRD satellite mission aims at detecting Cosmic Microwave Background modes with unprecedented precision, targeting a total error on the tensor-to-scalar ratio of $Î…
Requirements on bandpass resolution and measurement precision for LiteBIRD
S. Giardiello, A. Carones, T. Ghigna +95
In this work, we study the impact of an imperfect knowledge of the instrument bandpasses on the estimate of the tensor-to-scalar ratio in the context of the next-generation Lit…
A Simulation Framework for the LiteBIRD Instruments
M. Tomasi, L. Pagano, A. Anand +111
LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of -mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission focused on primordial cosmo…
