BICEP2 ================================================ Compute the likelihood of the supplied CMB power spectra +-------------+--------------------------------------+ | File | likelihood/bicep2/bicep_interface.py | +-------------+--------------------------------------+ | Attribution | BICEP2 Team | +-------------+--------------------------------------+ | URL | http://bicepkeck.org | +-------------+--------------------------------------+ | Citations | http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.4302 | +-------------+--------------------------------------+ | | http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3985 | +-------------+--------------------------------------+ The 2014 BICEP2 results are a detection of cosmological B-modes on the scales that indicate a primordial gravitational wave bump. This module wraps the likelihood code released by the BICEP2 team. WARNING: The BICEP 2014 results are generally considered to be incorrect; this module is for historical interest only. Assumptions ----------- - CAMB or other CMB code must be set up to do lensing and include high k modes - BICEP2 2014-03-14 dataset Setup Parameters ---------------- None Input values ---------------- .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Section - Name - Type - Default - Description * - cmb_cl - ell - real 1d - - Angular wavenumbers for the input spectra * - - EE - real 1d - - EE CMB power spectrum, at wavenumbers from ell * - - BB - real 1d - - BB CMB power spectraum, at wavenumbers from ell Output values ---------------- .. list-table:: Output values :header-rows: 1 * - Section - Name - Type - Description * - likelihoods - BICEP_LIKe - real - Likelihood of supplied spectra from BICEP2
