Constraining Inflation with the BICEP/Keck CMB Polarization Experiments
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP/ (BK) series of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments has, over the past decade and a half, produced a series of field-leading constra…
A Measurement of Gravitational Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background Using SPT-3G 2018 Data
Z. Pan, F. Bianchini, W. L. K. Wu +133
We present a measurement of gravitational lensing over 1500 deg of the Southern sky using SPT-3G temperature data at 95 and 150 GHz taken in 2018. The lensing amplitude relativ…
BICEP / Keck XVII: Line of Sight Distortion Analysis: Estimates of Gravitational Lensing, Anisotropic Cosmic Birefringence, Patchy Reionization, and Systematic Errors
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +91
We present estimates of line-of-sight distortion fields derived from the 95 GHz and 150 GHz data taken by BICEP2, BICEP3, and Keck Array up to the 2018 observing season, leading to…
BICEP / Keck XVI: Characterizing Dust Polarization through Correlations with Neutral Hydrogen
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +92
We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H I) observations. Dust polarization is imp…
2022 Upgrade and Improved Low Frequency Camera Sensitivity for CMB Observation at the South Pole
A. Soliman, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Constraining the Galactic foregrounds with multi-frequency Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations is an essential step towards ultimately reaching the sensitivity to measur…
Plastic Laminate Antireflective Coatings for Millimeter-wave Optics in BICEP Array
Marion Dierickx, P. A. R. Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +82
The BICEP/Keck series of experiments target the Cosmic Microwave Background at degree-scale resolution from the South Pole. Over the next few years, the "Stage-3" BICEP Array (BA)…
BICEP / Keck XIV: Improved constraints on axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
We present an improved search for axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with observations from the Keck Array. An all-sky, temporally sinuso…
Performance of Al-Mn Transition-Edge Sensor Bolometers in SPT-3G
