Absolute calibration of the polarisation angle for future CMB B-mode experiments from current and future measurements of the Crab nebula

A tremendous international effort is currently dedicated to observing the so-called primordial B modes of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation. If measured, this faint signal imprinted by the primordial gravitational wave background, would be an evidence of the inflation epoch and quan...
