  • Present: Joy, Jacques
  • Minutes:
    • Joy and Jacques go over the Optics section of the systematics listed here
    • IP is separated in two effects: sky T→P leakage from sky T converted to sky P through IP, and polarization load/noise coming from instrument emitted T converted to P through IP (ex: mirror T emissions converted to P through lens IP).
    • Many optic effects are hard to assess without a more detailed knowledge of the optical chain
    • Overall, Jacques thinks the optical beam systematic effects will be very important and need to be simulated and studied in details.
    • Note that end-to-end beam calibration on the ground will not be possible as the instrument cannot be cooled on the ground.
    • For pointing, given the probe's beam size, effects should be similar to what was studied for Core.
