Deliverables
The ell to which measurements are cosmic variance limited
Before EPIC-IM (2008): EPIC-LC and EPIC-CS
EPIC (LC) Low-Cost Option
Science Science Requirements Instrument
GW <BB> Detect both l = 5 & l = 100 <BB> bumps at r = 0.01after Galactic foreground removal
1º FWHM @100 GHzAll sky2 μK√s2 years
30 – 300 GHz
EPIC (CS) Comprehensive Science Option
Science Science Requirements Instrument
GW <BB>
Lensing <BB>
<EE>
Detect both l = 5 & l = 100 <BB> bumps at r = 0.001after Galactic foreground removal
Measure lensing <BB> to cosmic variance to l = 1000Potential to subtract lensing <BB>
Measure <EE> to cosmic variance into the damping tail

30 – 300 GHz
Phase I: Two mission options
EPIC-IM (2008/2009 version)
EPIC=EPIC IMEPIC CS = Cosmic variance
This is enabled by the cosmic variance limited E-mode measurement.
Last word on the “Age question”
Our final age determination
will be accurate to 25

Amplitude of the inflationary gravitational waves depends only on the energy scale of inflation. Interpretation is NOT model-dependent.
The information captured by the inflationary gravitational wave background is unique, it cannot be obtained even with a perfect measurement of the scalar spectral index and its running.

and distinguish between two mass hierarchies
CMB lensing probes linear fluctuationsSource properties known(Both these lead to systematicerrors in galaxy lensing)
EPIC can not only measure the total sum of neutrino masses, but when combined with atmospheric oscillation result for the mass-squared difference, establish individual masses of all three neutrino species.
Better than (<) 6 arcmin resolution is a requirement for EPIC to enable CMB lensing studies.
The measurement cannot be achieved with a lensing analysis in a small patch of the sky. All-sky coverage is essential.
What is the neutrino mass hierarchy?
Did dark energy exist at z> 2?
In some models of dark energy, a small contribution exist to the total energy density budget of the Universe at z >2.
CMB lensing probes cosmology at z of 2 to 4, where the lensing efficiency is highest.
EPIC can constrain the early dark energy density to better than 0.1%.
(Half-sky weak lensing with planned Euclid can only constrain same down to 2.5%. JDEM with 4000 deg2, down to 7.5%)
