Google Doc with parameters

Julian: simulation efforts almost underway. Massive CMB-S4 sim underway for next week: Berkeley group will have almost all of Cori for a couple of days. In principle, if all goes well, and a PICO focal plane definition is available, can piggyback 12500 detectors for ~4 years with noise maps.

Systematics could later be simulated, and probably don't all require full mission/full focal plane.

note that Andrea Zonca has on-the-fly bandpass mismatch tool integrated.

What does Julian need from Shaul: A Focal plane definition is the main thing. should be sorted out today at EC. He'll also check in on noise spectrum definition.

Foreground workshop from 2 weeks ago looked at sky models

Foreground realisations in the first instance will be convolved and added to the noise models, skipping time series.

Maurizio to update analysis he did for CORE by looking at S/N and time scales over which dipole signal varies min/max. Mid-January is LSPC review doc deadline, so he should be able to look at this for PICO as soon as he's done with that. THANK YOU, Maurizio.

Brendan to follow up again with Brad to try to get an update on GRASP sim scope/timescale

Next week, we'll have a discussion with the Cantabria group about their cubesat calibrator concept.
