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…
The Simons Observatory: Astro2020 Decadal Project Whitepaper
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Shunsuke Adachi +280
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment sited on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in Chile that promises to provide breakthrough…
The POLARBEAR Fourier Transform Spectrometer Calibrator and Spectroscopic Characterization of the POLARBEAR Instrument
Frederick Matsuda, Lindsay Lowry, Aritoki Suzuki +25
We describe the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) used for in-field testing of the POLARBEAR receiver, an experiment located in the Atacama Desert of Chile which measures the co…
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…
Design and characterization of a ground-based absolute polarization calibrator for use with polarization sensitive CMB experiments
M. F. Navaroli, G. P. Teply, K. D. Crowley +4
We present the design and characterization of a ground-based absolute polarization angle calibrator accurate to better than 0.1 degrees for use with polarization sensitive cosmic m…
