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…
Updated design of the CMB polarization experiment satellite LiteBIRD
H. Sugai, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +216
Recent developments of transition-edge sensors (TESs), based on extensive experience in ground-based experiments, have been making the sensor techniques mature enough for their app…
Measurements of tropospheric ice clouds with a ground-based CMB polarization experiment, POLARBEAR
Satoru Takakura, Mario A. O. Aguilar-Faúndez, Yoshiki Akiba +45
The polarization of the atmosphere has been a long-standing concern for ground-based experiments targeting cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization. Ice crystals in upper tro…
The LiteBIRD Satellite Mission - Sub-Kelvin Instrument
A. Suzuki, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +149
Inflation is the leading theory of the first instant of the universe. Inflation, which postulates that the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion an instant after its birth…
Performance of a continuously rotating half-wave plate on the POLARBEAR telescope
Satoru Takakura, Mario Aguilar, Yoshiki Akiba +50
A continuously rotating half-wave plate (CRHWP) is a promising tool to improve the sensitivity to large angular scales in cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurement…
POLARBEAR-2: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements
Y. Inoue, P. Ade, Y. Akiba +83
POLARBEAR-2 (PB-2) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiment that will be located in the Atacama highland in Chile at an altitude of 5200 m. Its science goals…
Development of readout electronics for POLARBEAR-2 Cosmic Microwave Background experiment
K. Hattori, Y. Akiba, K. Arnold +18
The readout of transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers with a large multiplexing factor is key for the next generation Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment, Polarbear-2, ha…
The POLARBEAR-2 and the Simons Array Experiment
A. Suzuki, P. Ade, Y. Akiba +86
We present an overview of the design and status of the \Pb-2 and the Simons Array experiments. \Pb-2 is a Cosmic Microwave Background polarimetry experiment which aims to character…
Modeling atmospheric emission for CMB ground-based observations
J. Errard, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +72
Atmosphere is one of the most important noise sources for ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. By increasing optical loading on the detectors, it amplifies t…
Development and characterization of the readout system for POLARBEAR-2
D. Barron, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +69
POLARBEAR-2 is a next-generation receiver for precision measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)). Scheduled to deploy…
Mission design of LiteBIRD
T. Matsumura, Y. Akiba, J. Borrill +66
LiteBIRD is a next-generation satellite mission to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. On large angular scales the B-mode polarization of t…
