Optical Design and Characterization of 40-GHz Detector and Module for the BICEP Array
A. Soliman, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +66
Families of cosmic inflation models predict a primordial gravitational-wave background that imprints B-mode polarization pattern in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). High sens…
Design and performance of the first BICEP Array receiver
A. Schillaci, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +66
Branches of cosmic inflationary models, such as slow-roll inflation, predict a background of primordial gravitational waves that imprints a unique odd-parity B-mode pattern in the…
Characterizing the Sensitivity of 40 GHz TES Bolometers for BICEP Array
C. Zhang, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +66
The BICEP/Keck (BK) experiment aims to detect the imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the Cosmic Microwave Background polarization, which would be direct evidence of the i…
Optical characterization of the Keck Array and BICEP3 CMB Polarimeters from 2016 to 2019
Keck Collaboration, T. St Germaine, P. A. R. Ade +71
The BICEP/Keck experiment (BK) is a series of small-aperture refracting telescopes observing degree-scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization from the South Pole in sear…
Microwave multiplexing on the Keck Array
Ari Cukierman, Zeeshan Ahmed, Shawn Henderson +82
We describe an on-sky demonstration of a microwave-multiplexing readout system in one of the receivers of the Keck Array, a polarimetry experiment observing the cosmic microwave ba…
BICEP2 / Keck Array XI: Beam Characterization and Temperature-to-Polarization Leakage in the BK15 Dataset
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +76
Precision measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization require extreme control of instrumental systematics. In a companion paper we have presented cosmological co…
