Multifrequency Beam Systematics and Measurements of B-Mode Polarization with the BICEP/Keck Array Cosmic Microwave Background Experiments
A period of inflationary, accelerated expansion in the early Universe -- while a radical extrapolation from understood physics -- naturally solves the horizon, flatness, and monopole problems of standard cosmology. Models of inflation generically predict tensor perturbations to the metric, which wou...
