  1. Ultimate High Energy Physics Search for B-modes in CMB Polarization- QUIET and other experiments QUIET collaboration photo Jun. 2009 at Fermilab Osamu Tajima (KEK) The QUIET Collaboration

  2. Today History of the high energy physics  Looking at early universe reheating (Big-Bang) Inflation LHC : ~10 TeV Observation of Inflationary Epoch Ultimate Theory ? 1016 Very Exiting Experiment !! Inflation potential : Parameterized with “ r “ : tensor-scalar ratio (T/S) 10~16GeVUltimate HEP !!

  3. Today Primordial Gravitational Waves (PGW) Inflation Ultimate Theory ? Accelerated expansion of space creates PGW 1016

  4. Two approaches for PGW observation B-modes in CMB Polarization PGW Cosmic gravitational wave Inflation Today (13.7 Billion yr) 10-34 sec 380K yr ( last scattering surface ) • CMB polarization is much more sensitive. • Discovery (on ground or in space) of PGW from CMB polarization will give a specific target for future gravitational wave detection experiments. a very strong science case can be made. B-modes “fingerprints” of PGW Interferometer LISA (space) LIGO (ground)

  5. No PGW, E-modes only At the early stage of universe, radiations (photons) were scattered by free electrons E-modes (even parity) Anisotropy of universe  Parity even polarization pattern

  6. With PGW, B-modes and E-modes B-modes: Smoking gun signal of PGW B-modes (odd parity) E-modes (even parity)

  7. Since B-modes are pattern in CMB polarization, experimental approach is; Measure CMB polarization “map” on the sky E-modes B-modes

  8. Since B-modes are pattern in CMB polarization, experimental approach is; Measure CMB polarization “map” on the sky Characterize them in Fourier space 2 deg. 0.2 deg. ~20deg. E-modes Spherical harmonics (like 2-D Fourier Transformation) B-modes A few tens of degrees region are sufficient for B-modes search  observation from the ground Multipolel (=180o/q)

  9. Experimental results at present Currently, ground base experiments lead this competition Because they can use cutting edge polarization detector arrays E-modes QUIET aims to detect B-modes from ground ! Smoking gun signal of PGW B-modes (U.L. 95%CL) Direct bound r < 0.7 (BICEP) Regions favored by many inflationary modelsr = 0.01 ~ 0.1

  11. The QUIET Collaboration 5 countries, 14 institutes, ~35 scientists QUIET-1 observation: Oct. 2008 – Dec. 2010 at Atacama, Chile (5,080m) CMB patch scan

  12. Observation Patches Visible region along earth rotation ~20o 4 CMB patches were chosen (~3% of full sky) Observing them DEEPLY (Galaxy observation when CMB patches are not visible) Map precision on 1°x1°: ~1μK (7.5 months at 43GHz)

  13. CMB QUIET Telescope CMB QUIET polarization detector 90 detectors array at 95 GHz Receiver ( detector array inside) Digital Camera Telephoto Lens ~30cm

  14. Large number of detectors “Detector Array” is essential for all CMB-pol. experiments Limitation of single detector sensitivity More detectors  smaller statistical error, i.e. better sensitivity Several hundreds ~ thousand detectors are necessary to cover inflationary model favored region: r ~ 0.01  QUIET-1 is intermediated phase to proof of technology QUIET-1 (2008-2010) 95 GHz detector CAPMAP (2003-2005) Pol. detector at 95GHz QUIET-1 (2008-2010) 90 detectors array at 95 GHz 1/10 size 3cm ~30cm ~30cm

  23. B-modes Search in Future QUIET-1 initial data set at 43GHz Predictions from major models QUIET-1 full data set Sensitivity of Future Experiments e.g. QUIET-2 All coming experiments claim good sensitivity r = O(0.01) or better sensitivity with several hundreds to thousand detectors ( = 180o/q) The most important subject for future: Good systematic error control

  24. [arXiv:1012.3191] QUIET-1 initial results at 43GHzLeast systematic error to date I  Q/U Leakage (fake pol.signal): < 1% Possible Angle Uncertainty: 1.7o Possible residual contamination B-modes:r= 0.1 (Inflationary models favor r = 0.01~0.10) Extensive study of systematic errors • Strong proof of our technology for future • Good prospects for further syst. error reduction • We improved 95GHz instruments and calibrations

  25. Summary • “B-modes” in CMB polarization is smoking gun signature of inflationary universe • Ultimate High Energy Physics: 10~16GeV • Many experiments are going on, search limits are improved almost year-by-year • It is very exciting period now • Experimental technique is still in its infancy • Especially, systematic error control • QUIET-1 initial results achieved least systematic error to date [arXiv:1012.3191] e.g. fake polarization signal: < 1% • Many rooms for contribution by new comers from different fields, e.g. particle physicists
