根据BICEP2测量大规模CMB B模式的前景去除要求

Foreground removal requirements for measuring large-scale CMB B-modes in light of BICEP2

A. Bonaldi, S. Ricciardi, M. L. Brown

摘要:

BICEP 2在度尺度上探测到的B模偏振信号是由宇宙微波背景(CMB)引起的,最有说服力的确认是对其大尺度对应物的测量。我们评估了在天空的大部分扩散分量分离精度的要求,以测量对应于r=0.1-0.2的张量标量比的大规模B模式信号。我们使用Bonaldi & Ricciardi(2011)提出的方法来预测不同模拟实验的性能,同时考虑噪声和前景去除问题。我们不考虑工具系统学,我们含蓄地假设,他们不是主要来源的错误。如果是这样的话,即使对于关于前景清洁的准确性的保守假设,普朗克也可以实现r=0.1-0.2信号的确认。我们的预测表明,将该实验与BICEP 2相结合,将导致对r的约束提高25-45%。下一代CMB偏振卫星,在这项工作中由COrE实验代表,可以显着降低(几乎另一个数量级)r的不确定性。然而,在这种情况下,前景去除的精度对于充分受益于灵敏度的增加变得至关重要。

英文摘要:

The most convincing confirmation that the B-mode polarization signal detected at degree scales by BICEP2 is due to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) would be the measurement of its large-scale counterpart. We assess the requirements for diffuse component separation accuracy over large portions of the sky in order to measure the large-scale B-mode signal corresponding to a tensor to scalar ratio of r=0.1-0.2. We use the method proposed by Bonaldi & Ricciardi (2011) to forecast the performances of different simulated experiments taking into account noise and foreground removal issues. We do not consider instrumental systematics, and we implicitly assume that they are not the dominant source of error. If this is the case, the confirmation of an r=0.1-0.2 signal is achievable by Planck even for conservative assumptions regarding the accuracy of foreground cleaning. Our forecasts suggest that the combination of this experiment with BICEP2 will lead to an improvement of 25-45% in the constraint on r. A next-generation CMB polarization satellite, represented in this work by the COrE experiment, can reduce dramatically (by almost another order of magnitude) the uncertainty on r. In this case, however, the accuracy of foreground removal becomes critical to fully benefit from the increase in sensitivity.
