  1. The Italian View of B-PolP. de Bernardisand the Italian team

  2. The Italian HW groups : • Milano (Bersanelli, Mennella et al.) • Milano Bicocca (Gervasi, Sironi, et al.) • Torino (Tascone et al.) • Bologna (Carretti, Cortiglioni, Mandolesi, Valenziano, Villa, et al.) • Firenze (Natale et al.) • Roma La Sapienza (de Bernardis, De Petris, Masi et al.) Heritage: BOOMERanG, Planck-HFI, Planck-LFI, SPORT, Bar-SPORT, OLIMPO All started in the COFIS study of “Themes and Models in Cosmology and Fundamental Physics” funded in 2004 by the Italian Space Agency

  3. ASI studies • The Italian Space Agency has supported in 2004 a study on “Themes and Models in Cosmology and Fundamental Physics from Space”. • All the members of the Italian cosmology community have contributed to this study, which was delivered on Oct. 20, 2004.

  4. Top priorities resulting from the study:

  7. No real instrument study, yet • Many issues require further experimentation - thinking. • The most important ones are: • Mass production of detectors (sensitivity) • Knowledge of polarized foregrounds and optimization of sky coverage / sky scan • Instrumental Systematics • Polarization modulation • For these reasons we do not have a full proposal • Here we want to give contributions for discussion

  8. Sensitivity • At variance with interferometers, Bolometer technology is easily scalable, and the throughput can be larger than l2. • Focal planes hosting thousands of bolometers are being developed already. • Intense activity in this field is ongoing in Berkeley, JPL-Caltech, Cardiff, SRON … • How many detectors do we really need for a B-modes survey ?

  13. PRIN 2006 • We have setup a national collaboration to develop a large-format, polarization-sensitive bolometer array camera at 90 GHz. • This is a collaboration of the following groups • Roma (de Bernardis, Masi, Vittorio, Dall’ Oglio) • Milano (Bersanelli, Gervasi) • Genova (Gatti) • Bologna (Mandolesi) • Padova/Trieste (De Zotti – Pasian) • The camera, based on Horn-coupled TES bolometers, will fill with 300 detectors the corrected focal plane of a 2.6m telescope (we have one in the Alps (MITO), one in Antarctica (COCHISE) and a balloon-borne one (OLIMPO).

  18. R C RF mux • A KID has high transmission at f away from resonance. This fact can naturally be used for multiplexing many detectors, tuned at different resonances f, all loading the same transmission line. • Using excitation in the GHz range: • high quality wireless components are available • thousands of detectors can be multiplexed, with a single coax and a single HEMT

  45. Inputs for discussion(from recent Italian brain-storming)

  46. Scientific Objectives: • E–modes free from systematic effects • B– modes at the best we can do • lmax = ~ 500 for distinguish primordial B mode from lensing B mode • Precise polarized foreground maps (~ 0.1 uK) for systematics and astrophysics • 1st Level Requirements: • L2 orbit (for systematic effects) • Frequency Coverage: 20 GHz to 500 GHz would be ideal for accurate cleaning of the various classes of foregrounds and astrophysical studies. Low end difficult due to telescope size.Feasibility of a strictly linked ground based program ? • Sky coverage: Full sky • Detector Technology: different technologies exist. It would be good to crosscheck systematics with at least one frequency band with different technology • Polarimetry needed

  47. 2nd Level Requirements • Sensitivity: < 0.1 mK * sec^(-1/2). See note (*) • FWHM: depends on science. See note (**) • Lifetime: 4 full sky surveys  2 years • Number of detectors: few 103 / frequency. See note (***) • Technology: HEMT from 20 to 100; Bolometers from 70 to 500 GHz. • Cryogenics: Depending on the detectors used (type, number, dissipation) and mission requirements (lifetime, spacecraft size etc.), the mission cryo chain could be a combination of the following possible systems: • From 300K to ~50K, ~3 passive radiators (V-Grooves?) in L2; or their combination with active coolers, mechanical (low vibration) or sorption, to reduce number/dimensions of passive stages • Below ~50K • sorption/JT cooler with H2 or Ne + sorption/JT He • mechanical cooler (pulse tube, vibration level?) • Liquid/solid cryogens • From ~5K to 0.1K, • dilution cooler • ADR • OMT based architecture for high purity polarization measurements.

  48. 30 dB taper

  49. Separate telescopes for different bands ? • Appealing option because • It allows to mazimize the size of polarization-pure focal planes • It reduces integration complexity • If on two separate satellites: easier optimization of scan strategy (4 Planck satellites can be fitted inside the ARIANE V) . • Moving bands to GND and Balloons will help with budget !
