Quantifying the systematic impact of differential beam response on the BICEP CMB polarization data from 2016 through 2024

B. D. Elwood, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

As cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments, including BICEP3, BICEP Array, and future BICEP experiments, achieve ever-deeper polarization maps in search of primo…

Controlling instrumental systematics for the BICEP inflation survey

C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +92

The BICEP series of experiments has been observing CMB polarisation from the South Pole for over 20 years, with the goal of constraining inflationary gravitational waves. The upcom…
