摘要:

本文介绍了由美国高能物理研究所牵头、国内多家单位参与的中美合作项目--阿里CMB偏振望远镜(AliCPT)的概况。这是我国第一个地基宇宙微波背景极化实验,也是我国引力波计划的重要组成部分。AliCPT项目的主要科学目标是探测起源于极早期宇宙的原始引力波(PGW)。AliCPT项目包括两个阶段。第一阶段称为AliCPT-1,是在西藏阿里地区建造一台海拔5,250米的望远镜。一旦建成,它将成为世界上最高的地面CMB天文台,并为北半球的PGW探测打开一个新的窗口。AliCPT-1望远镜设计有大约7,000个90 GHz和150 GHz的TES探测器。第二阶段是拥有一个更灵敏的望远镜(AliCPT-2),探测器数量超过20,000个。我们的模拟结果表明,AliCPT将改善目前的张量标量比$r$的一个数量级的观测。除了PGW之外,AliCPT还可以精确测量CMB旋转角度,并提供CPT对称性的精确测试。结果表明,三年的观测将使电流极限提高两个数量级.

英文摘要:

In this paper, we will give a general introduction to the project of Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT), which is a Sino-US joint project led by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) and has involved many different institutes in China. It is the first ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization experiment in China and an integral part of China's Gravitational Waves Program. The main scientific goal of AliCPT project is to probe the primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) originated from the very early Universe. The AliCPT project includes two stages. The first stage referred to as AliCPT-1, is to build a telescope in the Ali region of Tibet with an altitude of 5,250 meters. Once completed, it will be the worldwide highest ground-based CMB observatory and open a new window for probing PGWs in northern hemisphere. AliCPT-1 telescope is designed to have about 7,000 TES detectors at 90GHz and 150GHz. The second stage is to have a more sensitive telescope (AliCPT-2) with the number of detectors more than 20,000. Our simulations show that AliCPT will improve the current constraint on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ by one order of magnitude with 3 years' observation. Besides the PGWs, the AliCPT will also enable a precise measurement on the CMB rotation angle and provide a precise test on the CPT symmetry. We show 3 years' observation will improve the current limit by two order of magnitude.
