  1. COSMOS: Themes for discussion A. Mennella

  2. Discussion themes • Role of EUROPE in the Post-Planck CMB international scenario. • Funding opportunities: increase involvement in EU projects? • Competition with American efforts? Contribution to American efforts? • Science from ground, what is the potential? • B- modes • Foregrounds • Spectral distortions • SZ • Role of GB experiments: synergy with space experiments? Potential as a sand-alone opportunity?

  3. Discussion themes • Observing sites: • how to exploit N and S observing sites at European Level? • Evolution of Argentinean site? • How increase European exploittation of DOME-C infrastructure? • Technology challenges • Polarization discrimination (OMTs? Planar?) • Optics (feeds vs planar antennas, reflective vs refractive) • Multi-moded systems to increase sensitivity • Exploitation of bolometric interferometry for freq > 90 GHz?

  4. Discussion themes • Atmosphere, how deep is our knowledge? Polarized signal from atmosphere? • Frequency coverage and bands at low freqs and associated technologies. Photometric bands vs spectrometry?
