A measurement of atmospheric circular polarization with POLARBEAR
Takuro Fujino, Satoru Takakura, Shahed Shayan Arani +20
At millimeter wavelengths, the atmospheric emission is circularly polarized owing to the Zeeman splitting of molecular oxygen by the Earth's magnetic field. We report a measurement…
