abstract = {We present the calibration and scientific performance parameters of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) measured during the ground cryogenic test campaign. These parameters characterise the instrument response and constitute our optimal pre-launch knowledge of the LFI scientific performance. The LFI shows excellent 1/f stability and rejection of instrumental systematic effects; its measured noise performance shows that LFI is the most sensitive instrument of its kind. The calibration parameters will be updated during flight operations until the end of the mission.},
organization = {The Planck-LFI project is developed by an Interntional
Consortium lead by Italy and involving Canada, Finland, Germany, Norway,
Spain, Switzerland, UK, USA. The Italian contribution to Planck is supported
by the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The work in this paper has been supported
by in the framework of the ASI-E2 phase of the Planck contract. The US Planck
Project is supported by the NASA Science Mission Directorate. In Finland, the
Planck-LFI 70 GHz work was supported by the Finnish Funding Agency for
Technology and Innovation (Tekes)},
