  6. Lensed B-mode WH Teng C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  7. Lensing B-mode measurements as of April 2011 H. Chiang • QUaD/BICEP (50~100 detectors) still miss the B-polarization by ~ 2 orders of magnitude. • To perform high S/N imaging of lensing B-polarization, one must increase the survey speed by 102. C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  8. LensingB-polarization is a LSS experiment • Deep polarization measurements can significantly improve Planck+WFIRST/Euclid’s constraints on {w, Wk, ∑mn} etc., • If one assumes a prior of w0= -1, wa=0, Wk <10-4 → lensing B provides a constraint on ∑mn <0.04 eV • This will either • Detect a neutrino mass • Rule out inverted hierarchy Lesgourgues and Pastor Physics Reports, 2006 also Astro-2010 Panel Reports C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  9. Neutrino from Cosmology Abazajian et. al. 2011 (primarily for T)

  10. It is possible to “undo” the lensing (delensing) E-map B-map reconstruction Delensed B-map subtract f(E,B) Hu & Okamota Hirata& Seljak Expected B-map from lensing • The lensing potential f can be reconstructed to predict the expected B-mode from lensing • This procedure is noise limited in principle • With ~1 mK-arcmin noise (target noise level for POLAR Array deep survey), a factor • of 4 reduction in lensing B-mode contamination C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  11. Two Surveys with the POLAR Array • The Deep Survey • 400 square degrees ; 1 mK-arcmin • Deep search of Primordial B-mode with de-lensing (4×) • Possible to reach well below r~0.01 , depending on dust foreground • The Wide Survey • Tens of thousands of square degrees ; 6-10 mK-arcmin • Neutrino mass (~0.06 eV) • ns, Wk, dark energy from lensing and EE/TE • Precise measurements of r or nt(in the event that r is large) 1.6m 2000×2 400 (funded)

  12. POLAR-1, a technological/scientific pathfinder • Feeding 2,000 detector pairs (2.1 Fl) with a 1.6m telescope @150 GHz • 5% spillover scattered toward the cold sky (15 K) – actively cooling avoided • Twenty 4” silicon detector tiles (BICEP-2 has 4, Keck-2011 has 12) • Large-aperture infrared filters (50cm) and vacuum window (60cm) • Mitigation of beam/polarization systematics • POLAR-1 will reach the survey depth of CMBPOL in 1% of the sky Scatterer (K. Yoon) High order-corrected crossed-Dragone optics Large, flat, telecen. focal plane

  13. Antenna development R. O’Brient • Lead: JPL / Caltech • Planar antennas in BICEP2/Keck have • uniform excitation & -15dB sidelobe • Planar antenna with tapered excitation • reduces spillover power • Tapered antennas with 2.5, 2.1, 1.7 Fl being developed • Testing throughout 2011 C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  14. POLAR-1 focal plane camera Caltech: M. Runyan BICEP-2 Focal plane, 512 detectors (fielded 2009) Keck Array = BICEP-2 x 3(5) (fielded 2010/2011) • POLAR-1 Focal plane • ~4,000 detectors (2,000 pairs) • Modular tile design • 21 tiles with POLAR-1’s crossed-Dragone • A technology pathfinder for POLAR Array • 33,600 wirebonds per receiver for POLAR? • Or, should we look for a monolithic technology? • Bump bonding hybridization ? C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  15. POLAR-1 experiment K. Thompson C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  16. POLAR Array Optimization • What is the appropriate aperture/resolution? • What is the appropriate sky coverage for each survey? • What is the appropriate frequency coverage? C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  17. Aperture vs # of elements • For a given project cost – POLAR Array can have more smaller (2m) elements or fewer larger (5m) elements • Assuming the cost of the telescope scales as D2.5 power and a fixed cost per receiver, we compare these options: • These are all assumed to be crossed-Dragone systems (~2,000 TES pairs each), at 150 GHz C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  18. Survey assumptions • 450uK∙√s ; 20,000 TES pairs @ 150 GHz with 75% yield; observing for 3×107 s (30% efficiency for 3 yrs) • Deep survey • 10% time from the 150 GHz channel • Assume that the foreground channels reach the same sensitivity • Wide survey • Foreground unlikely an issue for lensing science • “Throughput” might loose to foreground channels for the deep survey • Can be reconfigured if a tensor mode is detected C. L. Kuo POLAR Array

  32. Conclusion • POLAR Array attempts to extract most of the science with lensing fro the ground (speed ~ 10% of CMBPOL) • Inflation energy scale (r<0.01) • Neutrino mass (∑mn<0.06 eV) • Significant improvements over Planck on spatial curvature, dark energy, spectral index • POLAR-1, a pathfinder for POLAR Array is under construction – first light in 2012/13 C.
