The Simons Observatory is a next generation Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) telescope to be located in Chile. The Simons Observatory's primary goal is to detect a very specific pattern in the polarisation of the CMB radiation (termed "B-modes") which will provide a unique observational window into the very early Universe and physics at GUT-scale energies. As part of our group you will have the opportunity to get involved with this state-of-the-art CMB experiment in a number of areas including investigating the best scanning strategies to use when conducting the observations and developing sophisticated analysis techniques to extract the extremely faint B-mode signal from the experimental data.

西蒙斯天文台是位于智利的下一代宇宙微波背景（CMB）望远镜。西蒙斯天文台的主要目标是探测宇宙微波背景辐射的一种非常特殊的偏振模式（称为“b模式”），这将为了解非常早期的宇宙和大尺度能量下的物理学提供一个独特的观测窗口。作为我们小组的一员，你将有机会参与这个最先进的CMB实验，包括研究在进行观测时使用的最佳扫描策略，以及开发复杂的分析技术，从实验数据中提取极其微弱的b模式信号。
