3 EPIC: A Scan-Imaging Polarimeter Scan detectors across sky to build CMB map Simple technique. Established history in CMB. Scaling to higher sensitivity Better arrays Adapt this technique for precision polarimetry EPIC mission concept Simple flexible architecture High sensitivity and wide band coverage Two optical configurations for low and high angular resolution Boomerang QUaD Planck Polarbear Maxipol BICEP EBEX Spider PAST ACTIVE NEAR-FUTURE IN DEVELOPMENT

4 Mission Design Challenges COBE 10 mk s 3 bands Need large sensitivity gain over Planck - large format bolometer (or MKID) arrays Foreground subtraction - multiple bands, high sensitivity WMAP 200 μk s 5 bands Control systematic errors - Goal: control raw effects 10x below noise - Req t: remove effects below r = see EPIC talk from Systematics Workshop Planck 10 μk s 7(9) bands? Einstein IP ~1 μk s ~8 bands

5 Advantages of Bolometers Sensitivity - State-of-the-art bolometer NEPs already exceed blip NEP - Formats limited only by optics throughput Band Coverage - Cover all frequencies of interest for CMB in a single technology - Enhanced ancillary science? - Bands and formats are flexible Maturity!? - Planck demonstrates detectors and readouts: a minimum baseline coolers and thermal stability working solutions to many systems issues - Adapt these technologies for the most powerful mission
