The early universe from CMB B-modes: observational challenges

Abstract:

The extreme conditions of density and temperature make the Universe around the initial moment of the Big-Bang, an extraordinary laboratory for probing poorly understood physics, mixing quantum and general relativity phenomena. The physics of the early Universe can be studied through the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the oldest observable “light'” in the Universe. The CMB temperature has been mapped recently with unprecedented precision by the Planck satellite. However, its full potent...
