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
