          Abstract

          We present an extension of the ROMA map-making algorithm for the generation of optimal CMB temperature and polarization maps. The new code takes into account a possible cross-correlated noise component among the detectors of a CMB experiment. A promising application is the forthcoming LSPE balloon experiment, devoted to the observation of CMB polarization at large angular scales. To check the reliability of the code, we tested the extended ROMA algorithm on real and simulated data of the BOOMERanG(2003) mission, in order to compare our conclusions with already established results. Hence, we performed a preliminary forecast of the LSPE/SWIPE instrument. We found that considering the cross-correlation among the detectors results in a more realistic estimate of the angular power spectra. In particular, the extended ROMA map-making algorithm provides a strong reduction of the spectra error bars. We expect that this improvement will be crucial in constraining the B component of CMB polarization at the largest scales.
