Simulating Instrument Performance for the EPIC Mission
Abstract
We present a possible horn configuration for the space based CMB polarization interferometric mission EPIC, with simulated power spectra produced by this configuration on a CMB sky. We examine the results of varying several effects such as the frequency bandwidth and the instrument beam. This work was supported by the REU and ASSURE programs through NSF award AST-0453442.
