Proof of concept of the COSMOCal project at the IRAM 30m telescope
S. Savorgnano, L. Bizzarri, A. Ritacco +25
This work reports on a test campaign conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope to validate the COSMOCal instrument, a novel concept for absolute calibration of polarization angle, beam p…
Status and future development of the COSMOCal Project for absolute CMB polarization calibration
Silvia Micheli, Alessia Ritacco, Alessandro Carones +36
The paper outlines the COSMOCal project, which will place an artificial polarized microwave source on a geostationary satellite to provide stable absolute calibration for CMB polar…
High-accuracy polarimetry for CMB: new frontiers with the POLOCALC project
A. Novelli, F. Astori, L. Bizzarri +8
Modern telescopes observing the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization require an exquisite control of systematics to target Inflationary Gravitational Waves (IGW), Cosmic…
Status of the COSmological Microwave Observations CALibrator
L. Mousset, J. Aumont, S. Berta +33
As the sensitivity of CMB telescopes increases, the need for precise calibration becomes critical. Started in 2022, the COSMOCal project aims to place an artificial polarized sourc…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
Absolute reference for microwave polarization experiments -- The COSMOCal project and its proof of concept
A. Ritacco, L. Bizzarri, S. Savorgnano +25
The cosmic microwave background (CMB), a remnant of the Big Bang, provides unparalleled insights into the primordial universe, its energy content, and the origin of cosmic structur…
