Breaking the degeneracy between polarization efficiency and cosmological parameters in CMB experiments

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Crawford | First 5 Authors: Silvia Galli, W. L. Kimmy Wu, Karim Benabed, François Bouchet, Thomas M. Crawford | Summary: Accurate cosmological parameter estimates using polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) put stringent requirements on map calibration, as highlighted in the recent results from the Planck satellite. In this paper, […]
