Explanation

It is often useful to convolve an estimated CMB lensing map with a Gaussian beam before measuring correlation functions with galaxies and shears. If such smoothing is applied, we must account for it on the modeling side. This module accounts for such smoothing by multiplying the theoretical power spectra by the necessary beam factors.

##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.

Parameter Description
shearkappa_section section name where harmonic-space cross-spectrum between galaxy shear and CMB kappa is stored. Leave blank if none.
galkappa_section section name where harmonic-space cross-spectrum between galaxy density and CMB kappa is stored. Leave blank if none.
beam_sigma_arcmin sigma of Gaussian for smoothing CMB kappa (in arcminutes)
beam_fwhm_arcmin FWHM of Gaussian for smoothing CMB kappa (in arcminutes)

##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.

Section Parameter Description
shear_cmbkappa_cl ell integer 1d array, values at which c_ell is evaluated
bin_{i}_{j} real 1d arrays for relevant i and j combinations. C_ell calculated at corresponding ell.
galaxy_cmbkappa_cl ell integer 1d array, values at which c_ell is evaluated
bin_{i}_{j} real 1d arrays for relevant i and j combinations. C_ell calculated at corresponding ell.

##Outputs

These parameters and data are computed as outputs from the module

Section Parameter Description
shear_cmbkappa_cl ell integer 1d array, values at which c_ell is evaluated
bin_{i}_{j} real 1d arrays for relevant i and j combinations. C_ell calculated at corresponding ell after smoothing.
galaxy_cmbkappa_cl ell integer 1d array, values at which c_ell is evaluated
bin_{i}_{j} real 1d arrays for relevant i and j combinations. C_ell calculated at corresponding ell after smoothing.
