[73.07] Implications of the CBI Polarization Spectrum

J. L. Sievers (CITA), CBI Collaboration

The Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), a radio interferometer located in the Chilean Andes, has recently published a spectrum of the polarized power spectrum of the CMB in a range of \ell ~400-2000. The CBI's polarization spectrum has sufficient sensitivity that it can begin to place limits on allowed cosmological models, independent of the total-intensity spectrum. I discuss some of these limits, including the angular scale of the polarized spectrum and the phase of the polarized spectrum relative to that predicted by the total-intensity.
