DESCRIPTION:Primordial gravitational waves are expected as a result of Inf
 lation. There is general agreement that these gravitational waves imprint 
 a specific pattern of polarization (B-modes or tensor modes) in the Cosmic
  Microave Background. Detection of these B-modes will provide direct const
 raints on the energy scale of Inflation and additional information on the 
 nature of the Inflation potential. I will describe the predictions of B-mo
 de angular  power spectra for various models and the  status of current CM
 B polarization experiments. In particular I will describe  the spanish led
  project QUIJOTE-CMB (Teide Observatory)  which is aimed to achieve very h
 igh sensitivity polarization measurements of the northern sky in the frequ
 ency range 10-40 GHz. The combination of QUIJOTE and Planck data will allo
 w a better control of foreground contamination and higher sensitivity to t
 he B-modes.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/829/
