  * Commander - Low \ell likelihood
    * {{::galloway_20220217_r_curv_0.0.png?25|}} 
    * {{::galloway_20220217_r_curv_0.0030.png?25|}}
    * Matthew show two simulations (above) one for r=0 and another for r=0.003, comparing the Gaussian likelihood to the correct low-ell approximation. The likelihood is only calculated for \ell 2-12; full sky, no masking or sky fraction. Not delensed. For next week: extend \ell range to \ell=200, and masked sky.  
  * NILC - small patch analysis

    * Jacques produced patches for MR. Code sent. MR will compute r in each patch. 
  * Delensing - include material in paper
    * {{ ::nilc_pico_20220217.pdf |r likelihood with real delensing noise }}
    * MR took the real delensing noise and injected it into his r-estimate for r=0 and finds an essentially identical result. Julien suggest doing the same with r=0.003, but MR argues we should again be reproducing his calculations.
