The POLARBEAR-2 and Simons Array Focal Plane Fabrication Status
B. Westbrook, P. A. R. Ade, M. Aguilar +90
We present on the status of POLARBEAR-2 A (PB2-A) focal plane fabrication. The PB2-A is the first of three telescopes in the Simon Array (SA), which is an array of three cosmic mic…
Development of the Low Frequency Telescope Focal Plane Detector Modules for LiteBIRD
Benjamin Westbrook, Christopher Raum, Shawn Beckman +23
LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led strategic large-class satellite mission designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background and Galactic foregrounds from 34 to 448 GHz a…
Simons Observatory Focal-Plane Module: Detector Re-biasing With Bias-step Measurements
Yuhan Wang, Tanay Bhandarkar, Steve K. Choi +14
The Simons Observatory is a ground-based cosmic microwave background survey experiment that consists of three 0.5 m small-aperture telescopes and one 6 m large-aperture telescope,…
SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) Electronics: A tone-tracking readout system for superconducting microwave resonator arrays
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Josef C. Frisch +22
We describe the newest generation of the SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) electronics, a warm digital control and readout system for microwave-frequency resonator-based cryogenic det…
Phase Drift Monitoring for Tone Tracking Readout of Superconducting Microwave Resonators
Max Silva-Feaver, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kam Arnold +5
A number of modern millimeter, sub-millimeter, and far-infrared detectors are read out using superconducting microwave (1-10GHz) resonators. The main detector technologies are Tran…
A simulation suite for readout with SMuRF tone-tracking electronics
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, J. Mitch D'Ewart +3
We present the details of a simulation suite for modeling the effects of readout with SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) electronics. The SMuRF electronics are a warm readout and contr…
The Simons Observatory: Development and Validation of the Large Aperture Telescope Receiver
Tanay Bhandarkar, Sanah Bhimani, Gabriele Coppi +16
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that consists of three 0.5 m small-aperture telescopes (SATs) and one 6 m large-ap…
Development and performance of Universal Readout Harnesses for the Simons Observatory
Jenna E. Moore, Tanay Bhandarkar, Brooke DiGia +9
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that consists of three 0.5 m small-aperture telescopes and one 6 m large-aperture…
The Simons Observatory: Complex Impedance Measurements for a Full Focal-Plane Module
Jack Lashner, Joseph Seibert, Max Silva-Feaver +11
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground based Cosmic Microwave Background experiment that will be deployed to the Atacama Desert in Chile. SO will field over 60,000 transition edge…
The Simons Observatory: Characterizing the Large Aperture Telescope Receiver with Radio Holography
Grace E. Chesmore, Kathleen Harrington, Carlos E. Sierra +23
We present near-field radio holography measurements of the Simons Observatory Large Aperture Telescope Receiver optics. These measurements demonstrate that radio holography of comp…
Bandwidth and Aliasing in the Microwave SQUID Multiplexer
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jake A. Connors +13
The microwave SQUID multiplexer (umux) has enabled higher bandwidth or higher channel counts across a wide range of experiments in particle physics, astronomy, and spectroscopy. Th…
Assembly development for the Simons Observatory focal plane readout module
Erin Healy, Aamir M. Ali, Kam Arnold +28
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a suite of instruments sensitive to temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to be located at Cerro Toco in the Atacama…
