Design and pre-flight performance of SPIDER 280 GHz receivers
E. C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +79
In this work we describe upgrades to the Spider balloon-borne telescope in preparation for its second flight, currently planned for December 2021. The Spider instrument is optimize…
Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter is a small-aperture refracting telescope located at the South Pole and is specifically designed to search for the possible signature of inflationary grav…
Receiver development for BICEP Array, a next-generation CMB polarimeter at the South Pole
L. Moncelsi, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +72
A detection of curl-type (-mode) polarization of the primary CMB would be direct evidence for the inflationary paradigm of the origin of the Universe. The BICEP/Keck Array (BK)…
A Demonstration of Improved Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves with Delensing
BICEP/Keck, SPTpol Collaborations, : +139
We present a constraint on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, , derived from measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization -modes with "delensing," whereby the unce…
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…
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…
