We propose a novel estimator of the polarization amplitude from single measurement its normally distributed $(Q,U)$ Stokes components. Based on properties Rice distribution and dubbed 'MAS' (Modified ASymptotic), it meets several desirable criteria:(i) values lie in whole positive region; (ii) is continuous; (iii) transforms smoothly with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Rayleigh-like shape to Gaussian one; (iv) unbiased reaches components' variance as soon SNR exceeds 2; (v) analytic can...

When combining cosmological and oscillations results to constrain the neutrino sector, question of propagation systematic uncertainties is often raised. We address this issue in context derivation an upper bound on sum masses ($\Sigma m_\nu$) with recent data.

With the forthcoming release of high precision polarization measurements, such as from Planck satellite, metrology needs to improve. In particular, it is crucial take into account full knowledge noise properties when estimating fraction and angle, which suffer well-known biases. While strong simplifying assumptions have usually been made in analysis, we present a method for including covariance matrix Stokes parameters estimates distributions angle. We thereby quantify impact on biases...

The production of a primordial stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background by processes occuring in the early Universe is expected broad range models. Observing this would open unique window onto Universe's evolutionary history. Probes like cosmic microwave (CMB) or baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) can be used to set upper limits on GW energy density for frequencies above 10−15 Hz. We perform profile likelihood analysis Planck CMB temperature anisotropies and gravitational lensing data...

Despite the ability of cosmological concordance model ($\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$) to describe observations exceedingly well, power law expansion Universe scale radius, $R(t)\ensuremath{\propto}{t}^{n}$, has been proposed as an alternative framework. We examine here these models, analyzing their fit data using robust comparison criteria. Type Ia supernovae (SNIa), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) and information from cosmic microwave background (CMB) have used. find that...
Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy experiments were performed to track the cell density of F98 glioma cells under varying radiation doses and initial densities. Based on these results, a compartmental model characterizing temporal response cancerous population single-dose therapy was developed. This reproduces very well all experimental data, with only three free parameters (and four others that are fixed). It allows us have access follow evolution different populations after irradiation, in...

The statistical distribution of galaxies is a powerful probe to constrain cosmological models and gravity. In particular the matter power spectrum $P(k)$ brings information about distance evolution galaxy clustering together. However building from catalogues needs model convert angles on sky redshifts into distances, which leads difficulties when comparing data with predicted other models, for photometric surveys like LSST. angular $C_\ell(z_1,z_2)$ between two bins located at redshift $z_1$...
