20170426 Telecon Notes

Legend: Bold face encodes 'need more information'; italics encodes issues that are (semi)settled in the sense that they are the basis for future discussions; Underlined Text are action items.

  • Catch up on Action Items
    • Articulating interesting constraints on r: Raphael says there are specific interesting targets at a level of 10^-4. But we should shy away from constraining specific models. He will put together a group of people.
      • Amy: Are there specific landmarks that are worth reaching as a function of r?
      • Jamie: What is a useful \ell range? reionization sufficient? How important is it to probe the recombination peak? Shaul clarifies: the question is not one of delensing.
      • Al: is it important to have 5sigma rejection of high r or 2 sigma rejection of a lower r?
      • Amy: clarifying these issues will impact what goes into the science traceability matrix.
    • Delensing and resolution: Lloyd talked with K. Story. Planning to talk with Blake and Neelima. Will check their willingness and capabilities to do some analytical calculations.
    • Spectrometer: Al is starting to put a group together. He reports on some of the science targets they are considering. Jamie: can the spectrometer constrain inflation parameters with the spectrometer?
    • Bands: Shaul will present compilation of bands next week; we will then have to decide on nominal imager bands
    • Foregrounds Workshop: Graca is putting together a candidate program.
    • Involving the community in the Probe work: Shaul will compile a message.
  • Should we investigate an EPIC-LC / LiteBIRD version? Yes. NASA costing of LiteBIRD may give a Probe-scale mission. Question: what is the process?
