Hi Boud,

Thanks for spreading this info, I have already supported PRISM.

Best wishes

>> Dear Boud,
>> As you may have heard, we have answered the recent call for science  
>> themes for future ESA missions with a concept called PRISM  
>> (Polarised Radiation
>> Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) -- The name was given before we  
>> heard of the NSA's version of PRISM...
>> As this mission might be of interest to you and your colleagues in  
>> Torun, I am sending you this information, which I encourage you to  
>> send to the
>> Polish community susceptible to be interested in this science,  
>> either on the theoretical or the experimental side, and/or involved  
>> in the project.
>>
>> The main idea of the mission is an ultra-sensitive  
>> spectro-polarimetric survey of the entire sky from about 30 GHz to  
>> about 6 THz.
>>
>> The science case is as broad as possible to serve a very large  
>> scientific community. The main themes for cosmology and fundamental  
>> physics are:
>> - A complete census of the Dark Matter, hot gas, dusty galaxies in  
>> our Hubble volume, and corresponding constraints on cosmology, dark  
>> energy,
>> cluster physics, structure formation, star formation, etc.
>> - The ultimate measurement of CMB polarization, to constrain  
>> primordial GW and inflationary scenarios
>> - The measurement of the CMB frequency spectrum, to explore energy  
>> injection at z<10^6 by processes such as reionization, decay of DM  
>> particles,
>> evaporation of mini black holes, etc.
>>
>> Details are in http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013arXiv1306.2259P  
>> and on our website (http://www.prism-mission.org).
>>
>> Do not hesitate to ask questions if you have any. Support (by  
>> signing-up and encouraging people to sign-up on our web site) would  
>> be very useful
>> (there are already a small number of Polish scientists who  
>> expressed interest, but I am sure many more still have not received  
>> this information).
>>
>> Best,
>>
