A Titanium Nitride Absorber for Controlling Optical Crosstalk in Horn-Coupled Aluminum LEKID Arrays for Millimeter Wavelengths
H. McCarrick, D. Flanigan, G. Jones +15
We discuss the design and measured performance of a titanium nitride (TiN) mesh absorber we are developing for controlling optical crosstalk in horn-coupled lumped-element kinetic…
Low Noise Titanium Nitride KIDs for SuperSpec: A Millimeter-Wave On-Chip Spectrometer
S. Hailey-Dunsheath, E. Shirokoff, P. S. Barry +17
SuperSpec is a novel on-chip spectrometer we are developing for multi-object, moderate resolution (R = 100 - 500), large bandwidth (~1.65:1) submillimeter and millimeter survey spe…
Horn-Coupled, Commercially-Fabricated Aluminum Lumped-Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Millimeter Wavelengths
H. McCarrick, D. Flanigan, G. Jones +16
We discuss the design, fabrication, and testing of prototype horn-coupled, lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) designed for cosmic microwave background (CMB) studi…
Nuclear modification factor in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions using Boltzmann transport equation
L. Qiao, G. Che, J. Gu +2
We investigate the nuclear modification factor () of identified particles as a function of transverse momentum () in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.7…
Pressure Effect on Superconductivity of Iron-based Arsenic-oxide ReFeAsO0.85 (Re=Sm and Nd)
W. Yi, L. Sun, Z. Ren +10
Here we report pressure effect on superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of ReFeAsO0.85 (Re= Sm and Nd) system without fluorine doping. In-situ measurements under high pressur…
Optical Demonstration of THz, Dual-Polarization Sensitive Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
B. Dober, J. A. Austermann, J. A. Beall +17
The next generation BLAST experiment (BLAST-TNG) is a suborbital balloon payload that seeks to map polarized dust emission in the 250 m, 350 m and 500 m wavebands. The…
A LEKID-based CMB instrument design for large-scale observations in Greenland
D. C. Araujo, P. A. R. Ade, J. R. Bond +22
We present the results of a feasibility study, which examined deployment of a ground-based millimeter-wave polarimeter, tailored for observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB)…
