The LSPE-Strip beams
S. Realini, C. Franceschet, F. Villa +13
In this paper we describe the design and characterization of the optical system of LSPE/Strip, a coherent polarimeter array that will observe the microwave sky from the Teide Obser…
Updated design of the CMB polarization experiment satellite LiteBIRD
H. Sugai, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +216
Recent developments of transition-edge sensors (TESs), based on extensive experience in ground-based experiments, have been making the sensor techniques mature enough for their app…
LiteBIRD: JAXA's new strategic L-class mission for all-sky surveys of cosmic microwave background polarization
