Construction of a Large Diameter Reflective Half-Wave Plate Modulator for Millimeter Wave Applications
Joseph R. Eimer, Michael K. Brewer, David T. Chuss +14
Polarization modulation is a powerful technique to increase the stability of measurements by enabling the distinction of a polarized signal from dominant slow system drifts and unp…
Design and characterization of new 90 GHz detectors for the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS)
Carolina Núñez, John W. Appel, Sarah Marie Bruno +20
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a polarization-sensitive telescope array located at an altitude of 5,200 m in the Chilean Atacama Desert. CLASS is designed to…
Long-Timescale Stability in CMB Observations at Multiple Frequencies using Front-End Polarization Modulation
Joseph Cleary, Rahul Datta, John W. Appel +17
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a telescope array observing the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at frequency bands centered near 40, 90, 150, and 220 GHz. C…
Testing CMB Anomalies in E-mode Polarization with Current and Future Data
Rui Shi, Tobias A. Marriage, John W. Appel +15
In this paper, we explore the power of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization (E-mode) data to corroborate four potential anomalies in CMB temperature data: the lack of…
Calibration of Transition-edge Sensor (TES) Bolometer Arrays with Application to CLASS
John W. Appel, Charles L. Bennett, Michael K. Brewer +24
The current and future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments fielding kilo-pixel arrays of transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers require accurate and robust gain calibrat…
