Using amplifiers to measure the CMB (or any other signal)
After this point, the signal can be split and processed in many different ways without a noise penalty (correlation radiometry, interferometry, spectroscopy)
Noise penalty (Jonas’ talk)

The Science
Reionization bump
X300 fainter!
Temperature spectrum
B modes (parity) from primordial gravitational waves (Blue shading spans current limits and minimum detectable from CMB)
Hu, Hedman, Zaldarriga, 2002
Gravitationally lensed E-modes (dark energy, massive neutrinos)
E-mode polarization (no parity) from density fluctuations
Inflation???
Also very important tests of inflation from measurements of the gaussianity (or otherwise of the fluctuations)

The ChallengeBeyond r ~ 0.1 can only come from deploying hundreds of detectorsCareful system engineering needed to minimize systematic effects that will otherwise dominate (signal < 1pt in 108 of background)Frequency discrimination is needed for foreground removal (Clive’s talk)

Two Detector Solutions
Low noise amplifiers and bolometers are the best technology at the moment for these measurementsMeasurement methods are quite different –different systematicsDifferent frequency ranges accessible with each, with a lot of overlap (Jonas’s talk)

How does an interferometer work?L1 * L2 ∝ T + iVR1 * R2 ∝ T - iVL1 * R2 ∝ Q + iUR1 * L2 ∝ Q - iU
Since each antenna can output both L and R polarization, all 4 Stokes parameters are simultaneously measured without noise penalty
Correlate all possible baselines
Synthesize the equivalent aperture of the largest baseline

Interferometer compared to single dish measurements
Single-dish receivers and interferometers have completely equivalent in sensitivity in ell-space, or map space, if
Total number of detectors and amplifiers are the sameNoise per detector and per amplifier are equalEach single dish pixel measures both Q and U without noise penalty (true for amplifiers)One exception: an interferometer has a low-ell cut-off. But a 10 degree field of view (2.5cm feed at 100 GHz) is quite adequate for measuring the ell=70-100 bump from B-mode polarization.

Why consider an interferometer for CMB polarization measurements? Systematics control is one argument
Key for the next generation of experimentsInterferometers have some advantages
Measurement is made in Fourier space; modeling the noise properties of the experiment is much more straightforwardI Q and U are measured simultaneously on same baselineLarge angular scales allow the use of corrugated feedhornswith very low spillover without the need for a telescope. High resolution beams are synthesized – beam measurement errors reduced

You might wonder……Interferometers are complicated
N antennas requires N (N - 1)/2 correlations to recover all possible information

What would we like for angular diameter distance measurements?
A large set of clusters at z > 0.2
Very accurate measurement of the SZ flux, because DA is proportional to the square of the flux
Angular resolution of ideally 10” to allowed detailed comparison with X-ray data and exclusion of hot clumpy gas in the X-ray maps
Separation of the SZ effect from other foregrounds

Current instruments have limited angular resolution (~ 1’), limited field of view or limited sensitivity
SZA – interferometer; only 8 antennas; AMI (UK) – inteferometer; 13 antennasSouth Pole Telescope – bolometer array on 10m telescopeAtacama Telescope – bolometer array on 10m telescopeALMA – very high resolution interferometer; but field of view at 90 GHz ~ 1’
FutureCaltech-Cornell Telescope (25 m telescope) equipped with a bolometer array at 150-350 GHz would have resolution 25”at 150 GHzSZ interferometer with many dishes? (1m-6m foveatedarray with ~ 100 elements). Aim to image 10”-10’

Interferometers for SZAdvantages
Angular resolution and field of view can be tailored by size and position of dishes.Atmosphere is in near field of array and is strongly filteredGround signal is strongly attenuated, especially by a tracking arrayHeterodyne detector technology lends itself naturally to spectroscopy so each band can be split into many sub-bands without loss of sensitivity (although with added cost and complication)
Disadvantages:Fourier filtering of large-scale SZ signal (hence ALMA not really suitable)expense of correlator electronics; separate telescopes; receivers

Comparing Single Telescopes and Interferometers for SZ
An interferometer has the same sensitivity as a single dish to SZ if
The same number of elements in the interferometer is the same as the number of elements in a focal plane arrayThe area of interferometer is the same as the area of the single dishThe sensitivity of the detectors are equivalent
In practice there are trade-offs and each has its advantages
1000-element interferometers are hard to build100m millimeter-wavelength singe dishes are hard to build

Technology requirements (Grainge)Miniaturized heterodyne module reduces the amount of mass to be cooled
Small cheap receiver for each telescope is possibleCheap mass produced Cassegrain telescopes developed for other applications can be used for interferometry

Foveated array benefits from MMIC arrays
Several arrays with different primaries beamsSmall dishes target large angular scalesLarge dishes target small angular scales
Need small arrays on the large dishes for mapping speedReduces correlator requirements
Example 1m dish at 90 GHz has ~15’ primary beam1000 sq m collecting area requires ~ 10^7 correlationsBut 100 1m dishes + 100 3m dishes where each 3m dish has 7 pixels, has 800 detectors, but requires ~ few x 10^5 correlations
AMI and SZ/Carma are foveated arrays, but only few dozen pixels
