The large-scale polarization of the microwave background and foreground
Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Max Tegmark, Chris O'Dell +4
The DASI discovery of CMB polarization has opened a new chapter in cosmology. Most of the useful information about inflationary gravitational waves and reionization is on large ang…
