Year two instrument status of the SPT-3G cosmic microwave background receiver
A. N. Bender, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a millimeter-wavelength telescope designed for high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The SPT measures both the tem…
Characterization and performance of the second-year SPT-3G focal plane
D. Dutcher, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68
The third-generation instrument for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, was first installed in January 2017. In addition to completely new cryostats, secondary telescope opt…
Observationally inferred dark matter phase-space distribution and direct detection experiments
Sayan Mandal, Subhabrata Majumdar, Vikram Rentala +1
We present a detailed analysis of the effect of an observationally determined dark matter (DM) velocity distribution function (VDF) of the Milky Way (MW) on DM direct detection rat…
Optical Characterization of the SPT-3G Focal Plane
Zhaodi Pan, Peter Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +73
The third-generation South Pole Telescope camera is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background across three frequency bands (95, 150 and 220 GHz) with ~16,000 transition-e…
Nuclear-recoil energy scale in CDMS II silicon dark-matter detectors
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +106
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment aims to detect dark matter particles that elastically scatter from nuclei in semiconductor detectors. The resulting nuclear-re…
