The Simons Observatory: Design and Initial Performance of the Detector Readout System for the Large-Aperture Telescope
Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Tristan Pinsonneault-Marotte, Shawn W. Henderson +34
We present the design, implementation, and initial performance of a highly multiplexed cryogenic superconducting detector readout system in the context of its deployment to the Sim…
The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes
Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…
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…
Thermal and Electrical Properties of Prototype Readout Components for CMB-S4
Wilber Dominguez, Darcy R. Barron, Zeeshan Ahmed +11
CMB-S4 is the fourth-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background project, designed to probe the early universe and cosmic inflation. CMB-S4 would achieve its science goals…
