Fredagskollokvium: Quest for primordial B-modes with future Cosmic Microwave Background satellite missions

Ranajoy Banerji, Postdoc at Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.

One of the most crucial predictions of "Inflation" is the generation of primordial gravitational waves. Primordial CMB B-modes is currently the most promising way of seeing the imprint of these gravitational waves and vindicating Inflation.

A new generation of CMB Polarisation space missions are in the offing and promise to constrain models of Inflation at an unprecedented level as well as offer a host of other Cosmological and Astrophysical information. We look at the design aspect of such a mission, it's science goals and the data challenges, that lie ahead, for a successful mission.
