Delensing sensitivity - preliminary results
This posting compares forecasts for different configurations of the delensing LAT. The configurations are taken from this spreadsheet, and the efficiencies are taken from this analysis. The shape of the noise in multipole space (specifically the values of ell_knee and power-law index alpha) come from achieved SPT performance as documented on the wiki page Delensing Lat Noise Shape Prediction.

This table summarizes the expected level of lensing residual and sigma(r) for the different delensing LAT configurations combined with the DSR configuration for the SATs. Victor Buza provided Fisher forecasts without decorrelation for comparison, as well as results with decorrelation, which was used as the DSR baseline.

This table summarizes the expected level of lensing residual and sigma(r) for a preliminary joint analysis of delensing LAT and SATs. The underlying assumption is that EE LAT data and BB LAT data above l=300 are used to delens the LAT and SAT data below l=300. The delensed LAT and SAT data below l=300 is then used to place constraints on r.
At present, it assumes the same hit maps and weights for both surveys, which is likely suboptimal for the LAT survey. Furthermore, it currently uses a rough approximation for the LAT transfer functions, which should be improved.
