Telecon Notes, March 29, 2018

Attendance: Shaul, Brandon, Daniel, Mathieu, Charles, Kevin, Clem, + …

Agenda:

• Follow up maps (Clem)
• Follow up on analysis (Mathieu, Belen)
• Workshop

• Maps:
  • Action: Clem is proceeding to make maps parallel to those that have been made for S4
  • Action: Clem will include the MHD maps from Brandon
  • Clem asks: include fake delensing? Make 1000 simulations? provide all components? with r or without r? Answers, after some discussion:
    • yes, include delensing. Action: Shaul will check with Raphael what level of delensing to assume?;
    • 50% simulations with r=0; 50% with r=??
    • yes, provide analyzers all components
• Discussion on the limitations of running Commander1 which 'is limited' to \ell=50. Charles explains that Commander is not limited to \ell=50, the restriction is computing resources. Also Commander1 has a fixed resolution at all frequencies, which happens to be the lowest resolution corresponding to the lowest frequency. Commander2 can do the analysis with varying resolution. Action: Charles will check with Hans Kristian Erikson on the status of running commander2.
• Mathieu reports on his results using the delensing factor of CORE (60%).
  • slides not available
  • \sigma - r is reduced from 3.5e-4 to ~2e-4; see slides.
• Brief discussion of workshop plan. It would be good to have a discussion of the steps necessary to move forward. Action: Shaul will try to include in the agenda.
