************************************************************* 
INAF-OSS. ASTRON. DI TRIESTE and DAUT SEMINAR
************************************************************* 

Speaker: Sam Leach (SISSA - Trieste) 

Title: Simulation and analysis of cosmic microwave background data

Date: Wednesday, May 17th, 2006 
Time: 12:00 noon 
Venue: Villa Bazzoni (via Bazzoni, 2) -Seminar room, ground floor


*********************************************************** 
Abstract: 
Our current picture of the physics of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) 
anisotropies is understood at better than the 1% accuracy level, representing 
an extraordinary achievement in theoretical astrophysics. In close association, 
observing times have been halving every two years ever since the discovery 
of the CMB in 1965 thanks to heroic advances in detector technology, 
now approaching fundamental limits in sensitivity for a single detector. 
These two facts drive the need for advanced data analysis tools 
capable of handling and compressing large volumes of data. 
We give an overview the problem and describe activities 
related to Planck data processing.
