Photon noise from chaotic and coherent millimeter-wave sources measured with horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors
Daniel Flanigan, Heather McCarrick, Glenn Jones +18
We report photon-noise limited performance of horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors at millimeter wavelengths. The detectors are illuminated by a milli…
EBEX: A balloon-borne CMB polarization experiment
Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +43
EBEX is a NASA-funded balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Observations will be made using 1432 transition edge s…
STARS: A software application for the EBEX autonomous daytime star cameras
Daniel Chapman, Joy Didier, Shaul Hanany +6
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to probe polarization signals in the CMB resulting from primordial gravitational waves, gravitational lensing, a…
The Simons Observatory: Design, Integration, and Current Status of Small Aperture Telescopes
Aashrita Mangu, Lance Corbett, Sanah Bhimani +14
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment located in the Atacama Desert in Chile at an elevation of 5200 meters, nominally consisting of…
Polarization Sensitive Multi-Chroic MKIDs
Bradley R. Johnson, Daniel Flanigan, Maximilian H. Abitbol +18
We report on the development of scalable prototype microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays tailored for future multi-kilo-pixel experiments that are designed to simulta…
A high-resolution pointing system for fast scanning platforms: The EBEX example
Joy Didier, Daniel Chapman, Asad Aboobaker +12
The E and B experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background with 8' resolution employing a gondola scanning w…
