• BICEP2 2014-03-14 dataset

Explanation

The 2014 BICEP2 results are a detection of cosmological B-modes
on the scales that indicate a primordial gravitational wave bump.

This module wraps the likelihood code released by the BICEP2 team.

##Parameters

These parameters can be set in the module's section in the ini parameter file.
If no default is specified then the parameter is required.

##Inputs

These parameters and data are inputs to the module, either supplied as parameters by the sampler or computed by some previous module. They are loaded from the data block.

##Outputs

These parameters and data are computed as outputs from the module
