Neutrino Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +74
This is a report on the status and prospects of the quantification of neutrino properties through the cosmological neutrino background for the Cosmic Frontier of the Division of Pa…
Large-aperture wide-bandwidth antireflection-coated silicon lenses for millimeter wavelengths
R. Datta, C. D. Munson, M. D. Niemack +17
The increasing scale of cryogenic detector arrays for sub-millimeter and millimeter wavelength astrophysics has led to the need for large aperture, high index of refraction, low lo…
A Shell of Thermal X-ray Emission Associated with the Young Crab-like Remnant 3C58
E. V. Gotthelf, D. J. Helfand, L. Newburgh
Deep X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the bright pulsar wind nebula 3C58 confirms the existence of an embedded thermal X-ray shell surrounding the pulsar PSR J0205+6449. Radially reso…
A Frictional Cooling Demonstration Experiment with Protons
R. Galea, A. Caldwell, L. Newburgh
Muon cooling is the main technological obstacle in the building of a muon collider. A muon cooling scheme based on Frictional Cooling holds promise in overcoming this obstacle. An…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: The polarization-sensitive ACTPol instrument
R. J. Thornton, P. A. R. Ade, S. Aiola +53
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is designed to make high angular resolution measurements of anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at millimeter wavelengths. W…
The CHIME Pulsar Project: System Overview
Pulsar Collaboration, M. Amiri, K. M. Bandura +42
We present the design, implementation and performance of a digital backend constructed for the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) that uses accelerated computin…
Detection of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with BOSS DR11 and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
F. De Bernardis, S. Aiola, E. M. Vavagiakis +55
We present a new measurement of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect using data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS).…
Survey strategy optimization for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope

We present a detection of the splashback feature around galaxy clusters selected using their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) signal. Recent measurements of the splashback feature around op…
Advanced ACTPol Cryogenic Detector Arrays and Readout
S. W. Henderson, R. Allison, J. Austermann +54
Advanced ACTPol is a polarization-sensitive upgrade for the 6 m aperture Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), adding new frequencies and increasing sensitivity over the previous ACTP…
Cosmology from Cross-Correlation of ACT-DR4 CMB Lensing and DES-Y3 Cosmic Shear
S. Shaikh, I. Harrison, A. van Engelen +105
Cross-correlation between weak lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and weak lensing of galaxies offers a way to place robust constraints on cosmological and astrophysi…
Inflation Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +91
Fluctuations in the intensity and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe each contain clues about the natu…
