What is the impact of delensing on r, and on nt or BB wiggles?
- Anthony C - let's think about trying to measure the B-mode spectrum shape
- Stephen Feeney/Josquin Errand/Peiris/Jaffe: some forecasts of S4 performance on r:
[From Errard*, Feeney*, Peiris and Jaffe (*co-first authors), in prep 2015] Fractional delensing residual after CMB x CMB (solid), CMB x CIB (long-dashed) and CMB x LSS (short-dashed) delensing. We consider cases in which, prior to delensing, synchrotron (light orange), dust (dark orange), or synchrotron and dust (dark red) have been removed, as well as the CMB-only case in which no foregrounds are present (black).
What sensitivity and resolution do we need for the lensing map?
- Blake: need high sensitivity lensing map.Plot shows residual delensed B-mode noise on large scales vs. noise of the high-res lens-reconstruction-experiment (right figure from Smith et al. 2010).
- Blake:Improvement from external delensing (e.g. CIB) probably isn't good enough (lensing reduction is only 2-3, compared to ~5 with internal). Combination CIB+noisy lensing can be promising:
- Blake: High resolution is good but not massive gain below few arcmin (figure from CMBPol white paper), assuming source complications for lensing are irrelevant:
What are the frequency/foreground-removal requirements for the lensing map?
- I.e. easier to remove foregrounds at small-scales than large
How low a multipole is needed for the lensing-extraction-map?
- I.e. how is delensing degraded if we have l>50/100/500 etc.
