Polarized Cosmic Microwave Background - Sarah Church (SETI Talks)

SETI Talks Archive: http://seti.org/talks

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation has enabled us to probe conditions in the early universe with incredible precision. The QUaD experiment is one of the first to report detailed measurements of the polarization of the CMB, which provides extra information that complements temperature measurements. Dr. Church will discuss the implications of the QUaD data and set the stage for what we can expect from future, more sensitive experiments.

Are there any newer videos regarding the CMB polarization (hopefully discussing preliminary Planck results)?
