CAREER: A Novel CMB Polarization Experiment based on Large Arrays of Coherent Polarimeters

职业：一种基于大型相干偏振计阵列的新型微波背景偏振实验[j]。哥伦比亚大学的Amber Miller将承担一项与宇宙微波背景（CMB）各向异性相关的研究项目。PI将开发一个40 GHz的“探路者阵列”，用于观测宇宙微波背景，并最终为生产更大画幅相机铺平道路。有了这个仪器，应该有可能提高观测偏振各向异性的灵敏度，并更好地约束前景偏振污染物。该项目将包括本科生参与她的研究。还将开展一个试点项目，包括一名当地高中教师和两名学生参与PI的研究。长期目标是在每个学年都有一名哥伦比亚师范学院的实习教师参与这项工作。

CAREER: A Novel CMB Polarization Experiment based on Large Arrays of Coherent Polarimeters ABSTRACTAST 0449809 Amber MillerDr. Amber Miller, at Columbia University, will undertake a research program related to the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The PI will develop a 40 GHz "pathfinder array", to be used for observations of the CMB, and ultimately pave the way for production of a larger-format camera. With this instrument, it should be possible to increase observational sensitivity to polarization anisotropy, and better constrain foreground polarization contaminants. The PI will involve undergraduates in her research. A pilot program, involving a local high school teacher and two students in the PI's research, will also be undertaken - the longer-term goal is to include a student teacher from Columbia's Teacher's College, during each academic year, in the effort.
