The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
Inpainting CMB maps using Partial Convolutional Neural Networks
Gabriele Montefalcone, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Darsh Kodwani +1
We present a novel application of partial convolutional neural networks (PCNN) that can inpaint masked images of the cosmic microwave background. The network can reconstruct both t…
PICO: Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins
S. Hanany, M. Alvarez, E. Artis +79
The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a proposed probe-scale space mission consisting of an imaging polarimeter operating in frequency bands between 20 and 800 GHz. W…
PICO: Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins
Shaul Hanany, Marcelo Alvarez, Emmanuel Artis +79
The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is an imaging polarimeter that will scan the sky for 5 years in 21 frequency bands spread between 21 and 799 GHz. It will produce f…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Detectors and Readout
The EBEX Collaboration, Maximilian Abitbol, Asad M. Aboobaker +37
EBEX was a long-duration balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The experiment had three frequency bands centered at 150, 250, and…
Design and performance of dual-polarization lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors for millimeter-wave polarimetry
H. McCarrick, G. Jones, B. R. Johnson +11
Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) are an attractive technology for millimeter-wave observations that require large arrays of extremely low-noise detectors. We de…
CMB-S4 Technology Book, First Edition
Maximilian H. Abitbol, Zeeshan Ahmed, Darcy Barron +58
CMB-S4 is a proposed experiment to map the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to nearly the cosmic variance limit for angular scales that are accessible from the…
High quality factor manganese-doped aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors sensitive to frequencies below 100 GHz
G. Jones, B. R. Johnson, M. H. Abitbol +12
Aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) sensitive to millimeter-wave photons have been shown to exhibit high quality factors, making them highly sensitive and…
Magnetic field dependence of the internal quality factor and noise performance of lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors
Daniel Flanigan, Bradley R. Johnson, Maximilian H. Abitbol +8
We present a technique for increasing the internal quality factor of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) by nulling ambient magnetic fields with a properly applied magnetic field.…
Polarization Sensitive Multi-Chroic MKIDs
Bradley R. Johnson, Daniel Flanigan, Maximilian H. Abitbol +18
We report on the development of scalable prototype microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays tailored for future multi-kilo-pixel experiments that are designed to simulta…
Development of dual-polarization LEKIDs for CMB observations
Heather McCarrick, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Peter A. R. Ade +14
We discuss the design considerations and initial measurements from arrays of dual-polarization, lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) nominally designed for cosmic m…
Photon noise from chaotic and coherent millimeter-wave sources measured with horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors
Daniel Flanigan, Heather McCarrick, Glenn Jones +18
We report photon-noise limited performance of horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors at millimeter wavelengths. The detectors are illuminated by a milli…
