The Cosmic Microwave Background for Pedestrians: A Review for Particle and Nuclear Physicists
Dorothea Samtleben, Suzanne Staggs, Bruce Winstein
We intend to show how fundamental science is drawn from the patterns in the temperature and polarization fields of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, and thus to moti…
Optical Design of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and the Millimeter Bolometric Array Camera
J. W. Fowler, M. D. Niemack, S. R. Dicker +20
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope is a 6-meter telescope designed to map the Cosmic Microwave Background simultaneously at 145 GHz, 215 GHz, and 280 GHz with arcminute resolution. Ea…
Experimental CMB Status and Prospects: A Report from Snowmass 2001
S. Staggs, S. Church
In recent years the promise of experimental study of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has been demonstrated. Herein a brief summary of the field is followed by an indication o…
Cosmic Background Radiation Polarization Experiments
S. T. Staggs, J. O. Gundersen, S. E. Church
A handful of new experiments aimed at measuring the as-yet-undetected polarization of the cosmic background radiation are described, with somewhat more detail given for three exper…
