Description
Increasingly precise maps of the polarization of the CMB are a unique and powerful tool for understanding new physics, including inflation, the superluminal expansion of the universe during the first moments after the Big Bang. I will discuss constraints on inflation, set using the BICEP series of experiments at the South Pole (BICEP2, The Keck Array, and BICEP3). I will then discuss projections for the future of the BICEP program, including BICEP Array.
