We present a measurement of the $B$-mode polarization power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using taken from July 2014 to December 2016 with the POLARBEAR experiment. The CMB power spectra are measured using observations at 150 GHz with an instantaneous array sensitivity of $\mathrm{NET}_\mathrm{array}=23\, \mu \mathrm{K} \sqrt{\mathrm{s}}$ on a 670 square degree patch of sky centered at (RA, Dec)=($+0^\mathrm{h}12^\mathrm{m}0^\mathrm{s},-59^\circ18^\prime$). A continuously rotating half-wave plate is used to modulate polarization and to suppress low-frequency noise. We achieve $32\,\mu\mathrm{K}$-$\mathrm{arcmin}$ effective polarization map noise with a knee in sensitivity of $\ell = 90$, where the inflationary gravitational wave signal is expected to peak. The measured $B$-mode power spectrum is consistent with a $\Lambda$CDM lensing and single dust component foreground model over a range of multipoles $50 \leq \ell \leq 600$. The data disfavor zero $C_\ell^{BB}$ at $2.2\sigma$ using this $\ell$ range of POLARBEAR data alone. We cross-correlate our data with Planck high frequency maps and find the low-$\ell$ $B$-mode power in the combined dataset to be consistent with thermal dust emission. We place an upper limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r < 0.90$ at 95% confidence level after marginalizing over foregrounds.

用Polarbear测量度尺度CMB B模式角功率谱

我们使用 POLARBEAR 实验对 2014 年 7 月至 2016 年 12 月的宇宙微波背景 (CMB) 的 $B$ 模式偏振功率谱进行了测量。CMB 功率谱是使用 150 GHz 的观测值测量的,瞬时阵列灵敏度为 $\mathrm{NET}_\mathrm{array}=23\, \mu \mathrm{K} \sqrt{\mathrm{s}}$在以 (RA, Dec)=($+0^\mathrm{h}12^\mathrm{m}0^\mathrm{s},-59^\circ18^\prime$ 为中心的 670 平方度的天空块上)。连续旋转的半波片用于调制偏振和抑制低频噪声。我们实现了 $32\,\mu\mathrm{K}$-$\mathrm{arcmin}$ 的有效偏振图噪声,其灵敏度拐点为 $\ell = 90 $,预计暴胀引力波信号将达到峰值。测得的 $B$ 模式功率谱与 $\Lambda$CDM 透镜和单尘分量前景模型在一系列多极杆 $50\leq\ell\leq 600$ 上是一致的。仅使用此 $\ell$ 范围的 POLARBEAR 数据,数据在 $2.2\sigma$ 处不支持零 $C_\ell^{BB}$。我们将我们的数据与普朗克高频图交叉相关,并发现组合数据集中的低 $\ell$ $B$ 模式功率与热粉尘排放一致。在对前景进行边缘化后,我们在 95% 的置信度水平上设置了张量与标量比 $r < 0.90$ 的上限。我们将我们的数据与普朗克高频图交叉相关,并发现组合数据集中的低 $\ell$ $B$ 模式功率与热粉尘排放一致。在对前景进行边缘化后,我们在 95% 的置信度水平上设置了张量与标量比 $r < 0.90$ 的上限。我们将我们的数据与普朗克高频图交叉相关,并发现组合数据集中的低 $\ell$ $B$ 模式功率与热粉尘排放一致。在对前景进行边缘化后,我们在 95% 的置信度水平上设置了张量与标量比 $r < 0.90$ 的上限。
