Development of the 220/270 GHz Receiver of BICEP Array
Keck Collaboration, Y. Nakato, P. A. R. Ade +82
Measurements of B-mode polarization in the CMB sourced from primordial gravitational waves would provide information on the energy scale of inflation and its potential form. To ach…
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)…
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…
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…
BICEP Array: a multi-frequency degree-scale CMB polarimeter
Howard Hui, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +75
BICEP Array is the newest multi-frequency instrument in the BICEP/Keck Array program. It is comprised of four 550 mm aperture refractive telescopes observing the polarization of th…
Measurements of Degree-Scale B-mode Polarization with the BICEP/Keck Experiments at South Pole
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +76
The BICEP and Keck Array experiments are a suite of small-aperture refracting telescopes observing the microwave sky from the South Pole. They target the degree-scale B-mode polari…
BICEP2 / Keck Array IX: New Bounds on Anisotropies of CMB Polarization Rotation and Implications for Axion-Like Particles and Primordial Magnetic Fields
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +65
We present the strongest constraints to date on anisotropies of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization rotation derived from 150 GHz data taken by the BICEP2/Keck Array CMB…
BICEP3 performance overview and planned Keck Array upgrade
J. A. Grayson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3 is a 520 mm aperture, compact two-lens refractor designed to observe the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 95 GHz. Its focal plane consists of modular…
