SPT-3G+: A Cosmic Microwave Background Experiment for the South Pole Telescope

T. Natoli, Z. Ahmed, H. Athreya +72

SPT-3G+ is the next survey receiver planned to be installed in early 2029 on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT). This new receiver will feature 6,020 polarization-sensitive di…

The SPT-3G+ receiver design

H. Athreya, Z. Ahmed, J. E. Austermann +71

We present the thermo-mechanical design of the cryostat and camera optics for SPT-3G+, a new receiver being developed for the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The receiver consists of 1…

Laser-micromachined silicon-platelet feedhorns for large-scale submillimeter and millimeter-wave focal planes

Jason E. Austermann, James Beall, Andrew Forsman +10

We present the fabrication and characterization of the first silicon-platelet feedhorn arrays produced using laser micromachining. First, we present a demonstration of the technolo…

The Simons Observatory: impact of bandpass, polarization angle and calibration uncertainties on small-scale power spectrum analysis

S. Giardiello, M. Gerbino, L. Pagano +17

We study the effects due to mismatches in passbands, polarization angles, and temperature and polarization calibrations in the context of the upcoming cosmic microwave background e…
