TL;DR: The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in Chile was built to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at arcminute angular scales as discussed by the authors, and a new polarization sensitive receiver for ACT was proposed to characterize the gravitational lensing of the CMB and constrain the sum of the neutrino masses with ~ 0.05 eV precision.

TL;DR: The first direct evidence for polarization lensing based on purely CMB information is reported, from using the four-point correlations of even- and odd-parity E- and B-mode polarization mapped over ∼30 square degrees of the sky measured by the POLARBEAR experiment.

TL;DR: The BICEP2 telescope as discussed by the authors measured the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 1°-5° (l = 40-200), near the expected peak of the B-mode polarization signature of primordial gravitational waves from cosmic inflation.

TL;DR: The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) is designed to measure the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background and galactic foregrounds in six wide bands at an angular resolution of 10' (100 GHz), 7' (143 GHz), and 5' (217 GHz) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the covariance of these maps with catalogs of 24 μm sources from the Far-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (FIDA) was calculated to determine the total sub-millimeter intensities of the cosmic infrared background (CIB).
