QUIET Summary• Probing Inflationary Scalar fields at GUT-scale energies
• Phase I has already demonstrated its technology and methodology (100 detectors)– The most sensitive CMB polarization array yet fielded
• Phase II has been proposed– NSF Reverse site visit in Jan-Feb– FNAL involvement critical to get to Phase II level (1600)
• “HEP” approach more important as experiments grow
• QUIET is unique: (verified) technology, frequencies, year-round access, best able to forecast sensitivity, and alliances with other experiments

Phase I has already shown:
• Platelet, OMT technology works• Module technology works
– Want to improve sensitivity and production
• Crossed Dragone Optics verified– Now the most popular choice
• High speed sampling works and is valuable
• The site works: duty cycle, atmosphere• We can reliable forecast Phase II• Cautious approach has paid off

QUIET Phase-I Forecasts
11/12/09 FNAL PAC
Phase II Plan
• 4 Telescopes – (3 CMB & 1 Foreground)
• “Small things”– Electronics improvements– Thermal control– Matching band-passes
• “Big things”– Improving module production– Improving module performance
11/12/09 FNAL PAC
Foregrounds(Planck Sky Model)
• Dust(synchrotron) negligible for QUIET(SPT)
• Broad frequency range important to determine contamination
• 100% overlap with ABS, Polarbear; less w/SPT

• “While QUIET I has been pursued primarily with non-HEP funding, HEP has unique capabilities to offer the project as it moves to the next step, QUIET II: (a) Fermilab has unique large-scale fabrication capabilities required to mass-produce the detectors; (b) HEP scientists have valuable experience with the high-speed electronics the project will require; (c) the approaches to data analysis and related capabilities that have been developed for particle physics experiments will become increasingly important to CMB science as the scope of CMB experiments, and scale of the collaborations, increases.
• Recommendations: PASAG recommends that QUIET II be supported at the proposed scope under all budget scenarios. Given the central importance of the CMB to our understanding of energy, matter, space, and time and the unique contributions HEP can provide to CMB science, PASAG further recommends that the future upgrade path for QUIET II should be considered for support at the appropriate time.”
Field does support multiple efforts, e.g. Dark Matter searches

What Characterizes/Distinguishes
QUIET?• Unique RF technology
– Different systematics, Q & U measured simultaneously– Large dynamic range
• Modulation:– 4 kHz inside modules– From sky rotation: Q to U to -Q every 6 hours– From telescope deck rotation: Q to U every week
• ~6% of the sky mapped 100 times deeper than Planck– Sensitivity to r < 0.02 [based on current performance (noise, duty cycle)]
• Alliance with (bolometric) POLARBEAR and ABS (and SPT)– Identical Patches– frequencies straddle WMAP “sweet spot”
• HEP-like:– 800kHz digitization (FPGA demodulation)– Volume production, quality control– simulations, data reduction, blind analyses, systematics, systematics, …..– Increased appreciation of our field
• Upgrade Path:– Sharing ATACAMA telescopes– MMIC improvements: from 15 QL to 8 QL to 3QL
