| * Assuming that "cosmic variance limited" means the noise variance is 1/10 of the signal variance, I find PICO to be cosmic variance limited in EE out to ell = 2314. If I make that more conservative, requiring the noise variance to be 1/100 of the signal variance, I find ell = 1698. | * Assuming that "cosmic variance limited" means the noise variance is 1/10 of the signal variance, I find PICO to be cosmic variance limited in EE out to ell = 2314.

| These forecasts were run using the CMB4cast Fisher matrix code (http://portal.nersc.gov/project/mp107/index.html, Errard & Feeney et al.), assuming access to T, E, B and d information, with the deflection estimated using the iterative EB estimator. The code assumes Planck-2015-level synchrotron and dust foregrounds, forecasting the experiment's ability to clean these foregrounds using a parametric maximum-likelihood approach, assuming the foreground spectral indices are constant on patches of size ~15 degrees across (N_side = 4). This is all probably a little out-of-date, being based on the Planck 2015 results and cosmology, but it doesn't seem to give a significantly different answer to Raphael's code (and I can rerun with a different tau if you'd like). | These forecasts were run using the CMB4cast Fisher matrix code (http://portal.nersc.gov/project/mp107/index.html, Errard & Feeney et al.), assuming access to T, E, B and d information, with the deflection estimated using the iterative EB estimator.
