Hi all,
We will have our BICEP2 / Keck CMB result telecon today at the usual time:
Tues, 17 Sep 2013 - 12:00 Eastern, 11:00 Central, 9:00 am Pacific
1-866-890-3820 (toll: 1-334-323-7229) Passcode: 59702175#
This week we will push harder to cut off at 2:30. We again have a lot
on the agenda--let's please try to move efficiently.
Full agenda is in the telecon notes at http://goo.gl/LNvpx
Add any more items you want discussed there before the telecon.
current agenda in brief---------------------------
1) Papers
Paper I: Instrument - update from Walt
Paper II: Beams - update from Abby
Immanuel post on coordinate system for far sidelobes
2013 Sep 23: Calculations for Beam Mapping in Spherical Coordinates
Paper III: Systematics - update from Chris
Progress on last week’s actions
How to approach systematics error budget in bandpower &
parameter likelihoods, experiment jack/consistency PTEs
Explicitly accounting for abscal & beam is traditional.
What about T->P, pol angle? Other?
2) Computing issues
General - Walt
Simset status - Stefan
http://find.spa.umn.edu/~fliescher/mapStatus/, report emailed
3) BICEP1 3yr paper submission imminent, draft available for comment.
2013 Sep 23: Conventions for display maps (CAB)
let’s reach consensus on these 4 points
