QUBIC

Minutes:

• Internships:
  - need to find precise subjects
  - Leonora already has an idea for a ML subject: analysing the impact of the properties of our H on the engineered features (statistical properties) of maps (?)
  - some of them could work on Qatmosphere (improving simple atmospheric model or implementing infra red camera observations)
  - there could be a subject on the scanning strategy: translate a scanning strategy to orders for the mount
  - one of them could work with the code we have, to simulate TOD and then study how to filter the data to clean it (or two different subjects?)
  - for simulations, we explain the theory (H_q * s = d) done in a couple of lines, reconstruction is made by workers (classical approach), no need to go into details
  - use a basic scanning strategy, add 1/f noise (or other) and then filter it, ask them to start creating large amounts of time samples on the CC and reconstruct it afterwards (too long?)
  - three chosen topics: talking to mount ; infrared atmosphere or adding realism to atmospheric model ; analysis of impact of H on statistical features of maps (?)

• scanning strategy:
  - Sofia created the bridge between her work and Ismail's
  - how to add the HWP? It changes position at the end of a scan (each scan, or every n scans, to be optimised)
  - to optimise the scanning strategy, need to have realistic TOD simulations
  - scanning seperated in two parts: actual scanning strategy and following of the source
