31 Experiment setup To parametrize different experiment setups, we introduce three experiment parameters:
32 Experiment setup To parametrize different experiment setups, we introduce three experiment parameters: Nband: Number of frequency bands between νmin and νmax
33 Experiment setup To parametrize different experiment setups, we introduce three experiment parameters: Nband: Number of frequency bands between νmin and νmax νmin: Lowest frequency
34 Experiment setup To parametrize different experiment setups, we introduce three experiment parameters: Nband: Number of frequency bands between νmin and νmax νmin: Lowest frequency fν: Ratio between two neighboring frequencies (ie., logarithmic spacing)
35 Experiment setup To parametrize different experiment setups, we introduce three experiment parameters: Nband: Number of frequency bands between νmin and νmax νmin: Lowest frequency fν: Ratio between two neighboring frequencies (ie., logarithmic spacing) For modelling per-detector noise as a function of frequency, we adopt the radiometer equation ( T cmb +T inst +T sidelobe + ) +T atmos σ 0 +σ atm ( ν ) σ= = Δν Δν ν T sys

41 Case 1: Low foreground, high-latitude sky Nband = 9 Afg = 1 µk
42 Case 1: Low foreground, high-latitude sky Nband = 9 Afg = 1 µk 1) For low-foreground regions, the optimal solution is ~ Ghz (ie., COrE+ - like)
43 Case 1: Low foreground, high-latitude sky Nband = 9 Afg = 1 µk 1) For low-foreground regions, the optimal solution is ~ Ghz (ie., COrE+ - like) 2) However, extending to lower frequencies carries a very low cost in sensitivity, even when accounting for focal plane area. Critical point: S ~ ν-3, while N ~ ν-3/2.
44 Case 2: Intermediate latitude sky Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk
45 Case 2: Intermediate latitude sky Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk O pt im al so lu t io n
46 Case 2: Intermediate latitude sky Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk O pt im al so lu t io n 1) As foregrounds become brighter, the optimal solution moves to lower frequencies.
47 Case 2b: Intermediate latitude sky, no focal plane penalty Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk Assume all detectors require the same amount of focal plane area
48 Case 2b: Intermediate latitude sky, no focal plane penalty Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk Assume all detectors require the same amount of focal plane area GHz
49 Case 2b: Intermediate latitude sky, no focal plane penalty Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk Assume all detectors require the same amount of focal plane area GHz GHz
50 Case 2b: Intermediate latitude sky, no focal plane penalty Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk Assume all detectors require the same amount of focal plane area GHz GHz Without the focal plane penalty, a pure low-frequency experiment would perform better than a pure high-frequency experiment
51 Case 2b: Intermediate latitude sky, no focal plane penalty Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk Assume all detectors require the same amount of focal plane area GHz GHz Without the focal plane penalty, a pure low-frequency experiment would perform better than a pure high-frequency experiment This is because the CMB is more orthogonal to synchrotron (S ~ ν-3) than to thermal dust (T ~ ν1.5) over relevant frequencies
52 Case 2b: Intermediate latitude sky, no focal plane penalty Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk Assume all detectors require the same amount of focal plane area GHz GHz Without the focal plane penalty, a pure low-frequency experiment would perform better than a pure high-frequency experiment This is because the CMB is more orthogonal to synchrotron (S ~ ν-3) than to thermal dust (T ~ ν1.5) over relevant frequencies

54 Case 3: Galactic plane Nband = 9 Afg = 100 µk
55 Case 3: Galactic plane Nband = 9 Afg = 100 µk General conclusions: 1) If foregrounds are negligible, minimum CMB RMS is obtained by focussing all detectors around the foreground minimum, covering ~ GHz
56 Case 3: Galactic plane Nband = 9 Afg = 100 µk General conclusions: 1) If foregrounds are negligible, minimum CMB RMS is obtained by focussing all detectors around the foreground minimum, covering ~ GHz 2) But if foregrounds are non-negligible, extend the frequency range as much as possible until the model breaks down, even when accounting for focal plane area!
57 Spectral index constraining power Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk
58 Spectral index constraining power Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk
59 Spectral index constraining power Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk
60 Spectral index constraining power Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk ) While a lowest frequency of ~40-60 GHz is good for optimizing CMB RMS in the low foreground case, such experiments have essentially no handle on βs.
61 Spectral index constraining power Nband = 9 Afg = 10 µk ) While a lowest frequency of ~40-60 GHz is good for optimizing CMB RMS in the low foreground case, such experiments have essentially no handle on βs. 2) If at all possible, one should strive to include frequencies below 30 GHz in order to measure synchrotron properly (as opposed to gambling on being lucky)
62 Case 4: Ground-based, intermediate latitudes Nband = 5 Afg = 10 µk
63 Case 4: Ground-based, intermediate latitudes Nband = 5 Afg = 10 µk 1) Best 5-band ground-based solution is GHz (maximum leverage)
64 Case 4: Ground-based, intermediate latitudes Nband = 5 Afg = 10 µk 1) Best 5-band ground-based solution is GHz (maximum leverage) 2) Two nearly equally sensitive solutions exist for GHz and GHz.

69 What do we know at this stage? There are no «lucky» foreground holes in which we can see Bmodes below r ~ 0.01 without component separation There is no realistic frequency range in which either synchrotron or dust may be neglected for r < 0.01 In order to go deep (r < 0.01), we need to measure both low and and high frequencies to high precision!
