BICEP/Keck XXII: Analysis of the South Pole Atmosphere for CMB Observations

P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri +92

The South Pole is among the driest sites on Earth, and the resulting high atmospheric transparency makes it an excellent site for millimeter-wave astronomical observations. Neverth…

Status of BICEP Array and Integration of the 220/270 GHz Receiver

A. Steiger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

Measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background are critical for modern cosmology as they constrain the physics of the early universe and cosmic inflation. BICE…

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…

Optics and broadband anti-reflection coatings for the BA4-90/150 receiver

A. R. Polish, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84

The BICEP Array telescopes search for primordial B-mode polarization from inflationary gravitational waves. This signal is exceedingly faint, demanding excellent map depth and syst…

Aliased noise characterization and mitigation in BICEP Array 150, 220 and 270 GHz time-division multiplexed detectors

S. Fatigoni, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

Early observations with the BICEP Array 150 GHz (BA2-150) and 220/270 GHz (BA3-220/270) receivers revealed detector noise equivalent temperatures (NETs) higher than expected, toget…

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…
