Seminario DAS: Challenges and open directions in CMB B-mode data analysis

Speaker: Dr. Claudia Scóccola
Affiliation: FI-FCFM // University of Chile 

Abstract: "The search for primordial B-mode polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is still one of the main problems in observational cosmology. Even with the significant progress of recent years, extracting robust cosmological information from current and upcoming data remains far from straightforward. In this talk, I will discuss some of the key challenges that shape current CMB B-mode analyses and how they affect the interpretation of the data. I will also comment on a few open directions that are currently being explored, with the goal of improving how we extract information from these observations."
