Descripción
PRISM (Polarized Radiation Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) was
proposed to ESA in May 2013 as a large-class mission for investigating
within the framework of the ESA Cosmic Vision program a set of important
scientific questions that require high resolution, high sensitivity,
full-sky observations of the sky emission at wavelengths ranging from
millimeter-wave to the far-infrared. PRISM's main objective is to
explore the distant universe, probing cosmic history from very early
times until now as well as the structures, distribution of matter, and
velocity flows throughout our Hubble volume. PRISM will survey the full
sky in a large number of frequency bands in both intensity and
polarization and will measure the absolute spectrum of sky emission more
than three orders of magnitude better than COBE FIRAS. The data obtained
will allow us to precisely measure the absolute sky brightness and
polarization of all the components of the sky emission in the observed
frequency range, separating the primordial and extragalactic components
cleanly from the galactic and zodiacal light emissions. The aim of this
Extended White Paper is to provide a more detailed overview of the
highlights of the new science that will be made possible by PRISM, which
include: (1) the ultimate galaxy cluster survey using the
Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect, detecting approximately 106
clusters extending to large redshift, including a characterization of
the gas temperature of the brightest ones (through the relativistic
corrections to the classic SZ template) as well as a peculiar velocity
survey using the kinetic SZ effect that comprises our entire Hubble
volume; (2) a detailed characterization of the properties and evolution
of dusty galaxies, where the most of the star formation in the universe
took place, the faintest population of which constitute the diffuse CIB
(Cosmic Infrared Background); (3) a characterization of the B modes from
primordial gravity waves generated during inflation and from
gravitational lensing, as well as the ultimate search for primordial
non-Gaussianity using CMB polarization, which is less contaminated by
foregrounds on small scales than the temperature anisotropies; (4) a
search for distortions from a perfect blackbody spectrum, which include
some nearly certain signals and others that are more speculative but
more informative; and (5) a study of the role of the magnetic field in
star formation and its interaction with other components of the
interstellar medium of our Galaxy. These are but a few of the highlights
presented here along with a description of the proposed instrument.

Cosmología con Trazadores de la Estructura a Gran Escala del Universo
El Fondo Cósmico de Microondas (FCM) contiene la información estadística de las semillas primigenias que han dado lugar a la formación de todas las estructuras en el Universo. Su contrapartida natural en el Universo local es la distribución de las galaxias que surgen como resultado del crecimiento gravitatorio de aquellas fluctuaciones de densidad
