Forecasts of effects of beam systematics and deprojection on the third generation ground-based CMB experiment
Abstract
The ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background experiments are susceptible to various instrumental errors, especially for $B$-mode measurements. The difference between the response of two polarized detectors, referred to as the ``beam mismatch'', would induce a $T\rightarrow P$ leakage when differencing the detector pair to cancel the unpolarized signal. In this work, we apply the deprojection technique on the time-ordered mock data to mitigate the systematic contamination caused by beam mismatches, by assuming the third generation ground-based CMB experiment (S3). Our results show that the deprojection could effectively recover the input power spectra. We adopt the NILC and cILC methods to reconstruct the foreground-cleaned $TEB$ maps, and evaluate the level of residual systematic errors after the foreground cleaning pipeline by comparing the power spectra between the systematics-added data after deprojection and the systematics-free data. The results demonstrate that the residual beam systematics cleaned by deprojection would not bias the CMB measurements of $T$, $E$, and $B$ modes, as well as the CMB lensing reconstruction and the estimation of the tensor-to-scalar ratio under the S3 sensitivity.
