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…
LiteBIRD Mission Overview after Mission Reformation
LiteBIRD Collaboration, K. Aizawa, H. Akamatsu +172
LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led space mission designed to produce all-sky microwave polarization maps. Its primary science goal is to test representative inflationary models by measuring th…
Galactic Science with the LiteBIRD satellite: Spectral characterization of diffuse Galactic polarized emission at the angular power spectrum level
S. Vinzl, J. Aumont, L. Vacher +108
Detection of primordial -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from tensor perturbations generated during inflation is a major scientific goal of future CMB…
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…
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…
A cross-calibration approach for polarisation-sensitive detectors in CMB experiments: application to LiteBIRD's polarisation angle calibration
A. Novelli, F. Piacentini, S. Micheli +102
One of the current challenges in observational cosmology is obtaining high-precision polarisation maps of the CMB to measure primordial -modes and constrain the tensor-to-scalar…
