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…
Engineering of titanium transition edge sensor wafers for the BA4-90/150 receiver of BICEP Array
A. Patel, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
BA4-90/150, the fourth receiver to be deployed in the BICEP Array (BA) series, is a dichroic 90/150 GHz instrument targeting the frequency space where sensitivity to the CMB polari…
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…
Optical characterization of the BICEP array 150 and 220/270GHz CMB polarimeters in the 2026 season
M. Izquierdo Poza, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +82
BICEP Array (BA) is the current-generation instrument in the BICEP series of small-aperture, on-axis refracting telescopes at the South Pole, designed to constrain the tensor-to-sc…
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…
Overview and status of BICEP Array's BA4-90/150 CMB polarimeter
M. A. Petroff, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
The inflation paradigm postulates a period of rapid expansion in the early Universe, which would generate gravitational waves. These tensor perturbations would produce a faint B-mo…
BICEP/Keck XXI: Constraints on Early-Universe Parity Violation from Multipole-Dependent Birefringence
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +94
We present the first constraints on multipole-dependent cosmic birefringence using CMB polarization data from the BK18 dataset, which combines observations from BICEP2, Keck Array,…
