• Review of Draft Report
  • Report schedule is here
  • Last week's decision: text for all sections in place by Aug. 22, so that Raphael and Dan can complete the introduction by Aug. 31.
  • GitHub repo for Report (for access, send GitHub user name to Shaul)
• Latest version of STM
• Discussion of CAA Findings
  • STM (exists)
  • Descopes
    • covered last week
    • (lowest frequency foreground mitigation doable with C-BASS? NextBass?)
  • Risks: technical or systematics and foregrounds risks?
    • Planck Systematics
    • Planck Foregrounds

Discussion of status of report

• Rafael put text in for inflation, non-Guassianity, …
• Rafael will contact Levon and Vera to contribute text about primordial magnetic field and birefringence, respectively
• Question about the final formats of Figures 1 and 2; Shaul says: TBD
• Question about our 2 \sigma values. Shaul suggest that Rafael will recalculate given the requirements and CBE, just so that we have the basic values, like we did many months ago. Rafael agrees to calculate and circulate the values.
• Rafael points out that foreground subtraction performance from the foregrounds group still needs to come together and fold into the predictions.
• Question: what noise values and what r is Clem using in his simulations. We would want to use the 'requirement' noise values and r near e-4 (or whatever value we will be quoting). Shaul will communicate + clarify with Clem.
• Colin
