Precise measurement of CMB polarisation from Dome-C: the BRAIN and CLOVER experiment

The characterisation of CMB polarisation is one of the next challenge in observationnal cosmology. This is especially true for the so-called B-modes that are at least 3 order of magnitude lower than CMB temperature fluctuations. A precise measurement of the angular power spectrum of these B-modes wi...
