TE correlation coefficient of Planc

Abstract: Testing deviations from the ΛCDM model using the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) power spectra requires a pristine understanding of instrumental systematics. In this work we discuss the properties of a new observable R T E , the correlation coefficient of temperature and E modes. We find that this observable is mostly unaffected by systematics introducing multiplicative biases such as errors in calibration, polarisation efficiency, beam and transfer function measurements. We discuss the dependency of this ob… Show more

“…While the approximation of Gaussianity is excellent for CMB power spectra at multipoles ≥ 30, it is not straightforward that it holds for a non linear combination of power spectra. However, the Gaussianity of the correlation coefficient has been shown to be a good assumption in the high EE signal-to-noise regime [15]. We check the robustness of this approximation running MCMC chains for the set of simulations described in section II.…”

“…Given the importance for the cosmology landscape, assessing the robustness of the results has become a major endeavor for all collaborations and analyses. The quantity and quality of CMB observations has both allowed and demanded an increasing level of scrutiny of the results and of the assumptions made in deriving them (see, e.g., [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]). For example, in CMB analyses one can derive cosmological parameters using only a subset of scales or frequencies or probes, making different assumptions in analysis methodology such as using or relaxing priors, applying calibrations in different ways etc., and verify that within the expected statistical uncertainty the estimates are consistent.…”

“…In the meantime, independent measurements by ground-based CMB experiments, including the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [3] and the South Pole Telescope (SPT-3G) [4], have confirmed the preference for a lower value of the Hubble constant inferred from the CMB when assuming the standard ΛCDM model, with H ACT 0 = 68.4 ± 1.5 km/s/Mpc [5,6] and H SPT−3G 0 = 68.8 ± 1.5 km/s/Mpc [4]. In addition, a re-analysis of the Planck data using the Pearson correlation coefficient of T and E modes R TE , an observable insensitive to multiplicative systematics, has lead to another robust determination of H Planck,R TE 0 = 67.5 ± 1.3 km/s/Mpc [7,8].…”
