Optical characterization of the BICEP array 150 and 220/270GHz CMB polarimeters in the 2026 season
M. Izquierdo Poza, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +82
BICEP Array (BA) is the current-generation instrument in the BICEP series of small-aperture, on-axis refracting telescopes at the South Pole, designed to constrain the tensor-to-sc…
Overview and status of BICEP Array's BA4-90/150 CMB polarimeter
M. A. Petroff, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
The inflation paradigm postulates a period of rapid expansion in the early Universe, which would generate gravitational waves. These tensor perturbations would produce a faint B-mo…
Full-sky Models of Galactic Microwave Emission and Polarization at Sub-arcminute Scales for the Python Sky Model
Experiment Galactic Science Group, Julian Borrill, Susan E. Clark +15
Polarized foreground emission from the Galaxy is one of the biggest challenges facing current and upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments. We develop ne…
Improved Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 Polarimeter is a small aperture, refracting telescope, dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 95GHz. It is designed to target degree an…
Thermal Testing for Cryogenic CMB Instrument Optical Design
D. C. Goldfinger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background rely on cryogenic instrumentation with cold detectors, readout, and optics providing the low noise performance and instrumental stab…
Analysis of Temperature-to-Polarization Leakage in BICEP3 and Keck CMB Data from 2016 to 2018
Keck Collaboration, T. St. Germaine, P. A. R. Ade +85
The BICEP/Keck Array experiment is a series of small-aperture refracting telescopes observing degree-scale Cosmic Microwave Background polarization from the South Pole in search of…
Relic Neutrino Degeneracies and Their Impact on Cosmological Parameters
Shek Yeung, King Lau, M. -C. Chu
In the standard CDM model, neutrinos are treated as radiation, with their masses and possible degeneracy ignored. In this paper, we compute the impact of a finite relic neutrino…
What is the B mode in CMB polarization?
Jack Kwok, King Lau, Edward Young +1
A linear polarization field on a surface is expressed in terms of scalar functions, providing an invariant separation into two components; one of these is the B mode, important as…
Cosmic microwave background constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio
King Lau, Jiayu Tang, M. -C. Chu
One of the main goals of modern cosmic microwave background (CMB) missions is to measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio accurately to constrain inflation models. Due to ignorance a…
