The design of the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope receiver

Maria Salatino, Jason E. Austermann, Keith L. Thompson +72

Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz 72 cm…
