A cryogenic rotation stage with a large clear aperture for the half-wave plates in the Spider instrument
Sean Bryan, Peter Ade, Mandana Amiri +47
We describe the cryogenic half-wave plate rotation mechanisms built for and used in Spider, a polarization-sensitive balloon-borne telescope array that observed the Cosmic Microwav…

Observations of High-Redshift X-Ray Selected Clusters with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Array
Stephen Muchovej, John E. Carlstrom, John Cartwright +14
We report measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in three high-redshift (0.89 < z < 1.03), X-ray selected galaxy clusters. The observations were obtained at 30 GHz duri…

Impedance-matched differential superconducting nanowire detectors
Marco Colangelo, Boris Korzh, Jason P. Allmaras +24
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are the highest performing photon-counting technology in the near-infrared (NIR). Due to delay-line effects, large area SN…
