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…
LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. -mode Anomalies
A. J. Banday, C. Gimeno-Amo, P. Diego-Palazuelos +101
Various so-called anomalies have been found in both the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature data that exert a mild tension against the highly successful b…
LiteBIRD science goals and forecasts: improved full-sky reconstruction of the gravitational lensing potential through the combination of Planck and LiteBIRD data
M. Ruiz-Granda, P. Diego-Palazuelos, C. Gimeno-Amo +102
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons are deflected by large-scale structure through gravitational lensing. This secondary effect introduces higher-order correlations in CMB an…
A chemically etched D-band waveguide orthomode transducer for CMB measurements
E. Manzan, A. Mennella, F. Cavaliere +21
This study presents a prototype D-band waveguide orthomode transducer (OMT) fabricated using chemically etched brass platelets. This method offers a fast, cost-effective, and scala…
Requirements on the gain calibration for LiteBIRD polarisation data with blind component separation
F. Carralot, A. Carones, N. Krachmalnicoff +106
Future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments are primarily targeting a detection of the primordial -mode polarisation. The faintness of this signal requires exquisite co…
