Constraints on Lensing Observables<br />

• Lensing observables in T,E are limited by <strong>CMB</strong> sample variance<br />

• Lensing observables in B are limited by lens sample variance<br />

• B-modes require 10x as much sky at high signal-to-noise or<br />

3x as much sky at the optimal signal-to-noise with ∆ P=4.7uK'<br />
