The Origin of CMB Polarization
Blue shifted
Red shifted
Vertically polarized
Polarization of the CMB is inevitable if anisotropies exist at decoupling.
Only a quadrupolar anisotropy (as viewed by the electron) gives rise to polarization
Two sources:
● Density Perturbations at z=1000 lead to velocities that create “E-mode polarization” (no curl)
● Gravity waves: create “B-mode polarization” (curl)

To disentangle the polarization created by the different perturbations we construct the E/ B field which has even and odd polarity. B-mode can only be generated by vector or tensor per.

CMB B-mode polarization
Large scale Gaussian B-modes from primordial gravitational waves:
Inflation GW local quadrupole around the last scattering electron Thomson scattering E and B mode polarization
Non-Gaussian B-modes on small and large scales :
✔ expected signal from lensing of CMB✔ foregrounds, systematics, etc.

CMB POWER SPECTRUM
• We expand T, E and B CMB modes in spherical harmonics.
• We can then form four possible CMB
power spectra TT, TE, EE and BB.

B-mode power spectrum
The B-mode power spectrum from gravitational waves peaks around ℓ=100. On small and large scales the contribution from reionization and lensing dominates .
The amplitude of the B-mode power spectrum from gravitational wave is directly related to the energy scale of inflation and hence very ideal to probe the very early Universe.

POLARIZATION FOREGROUNDS
Foreground levels
CMB vs. Foregrounds
20SAAO, Cape Town08/23/10
• The two dominant sources of polarization foregrounds are : Synchrotron, produced by cosmic-ray electrons orbiting in the total Galactic magnetic field, and Dust, absorption of starlight by aligned non-spherical dust grains.
• Free-free emission is unpolarized and spinning dust grains are expected to have polarization fractions of 1-2%.
• The signal from polarized radio sources is negligible.

Simulation setup
Stivoli et al. 2010 - Suborbital experiments
1) Balloon-borne (EBEX like)fsky – 1%FWHM – 8‘F channels ( GHz ) - 150, 250, 410Noise levels (μK/3.5' pix) - 1.5, 4, 40
2) Ground-based (POLARBeaR like) fsky – 2.5%FWHM – 8‘F channels ( GHz ) – 90, 150, 220Noise levels (μK/3.5' pix) – 3, 3, 9 HighNoise levels (μK/3.5' pix) – 1, 1, 1 low

Component separation I
Parameteric component separation (Stompor et al. 2009 ): solves the data model,
where A is the mixing matrix (contains the frequency scaling of the components) and n is noise
=A( ) + n

Component separation II
For experiments with N channels, at most N parameters can be solved. In our case we have 3 channels and 4 parameters, CMB, dust and synchrotron amplitudes plus dust frequency scaling.
Assumptions : Basic – Self-contained FG separation. Synchrotron is assumed negligible (true for balloon experiment)
No Sync – Synchrotron component is not added in the simulation

Using ML parametric component separation Stivoli et al. concluded that
1) basic foreground + balloon, detection of r=0.04 is possible at 2-sigma
Stivoli et al. 2010

2) Ground observation requires external information to reach similar precision to that of the balloon experiment.

Open problems
No one has yet done proper propagation of errors from foreground separation, power spectrum estimation to error on r.
Stivoli et al. result assumes that all parameters except r are perfectly known, which is not the case in reality.
Biases on the power spectrum by the presence of residual foregrounds needs to be properly accounted.
Covariances from instrument and foregrounds needs to be accurately propagated

This work
Degeneracies of r with other parameters: we use the six WMAP parameters plus r, (Ωb,Ωm,θ,τ,ns,As, r), in our MCMC analysis. We choose CosmoMC to do this.
Residual foregrounds : we introduce a two parameter model to study the bias caused by the presence of the residual foreground
Covariance matrix : For now we assume uncorrelated instrumental noise + Cov from 100% correlated residual components.
We use a 9-dimensional Gaussian likelihood.
