A chemically etched D-band waveguide orthomode transducer for CMB measurements

E. Manzan, A. Mennella, F. Cavaliere +21

This study presents a prototype D-band waveguide orthomode transducer (OMT) fabricated using chemically etched brass platelets. This method offers a fast, cost-effective, and scala…

Spectral Imaging with QUBIC: building astrophysical components from Time-Ordered-Data using Bolometric Interferometry

M. Regnier, T. Laclavere, J-Ch. Hamilton +33

The detection of B-modes in the CMB polarization pattern is a major issue in modern cosmology and must therefore be handled with analytical methods that produce reliable results. W…

Spectral Imaging with QUBIC: building frequency maps from Time-Ordered-Data using Bolometric Interferometry

M. Regnier, T. Laclavère, J-Ch. Hamilton +34

The search for relics from the inflation era in the form of B-mode polarization of the CMB is a major challenge in cosmology. The main obstacle appears to come from the complexity…

Measuring the CMB spectral distortions with COSMO: the multi-mode antenna system

E. Manzan, L. Albano, C. Franceschet +29

In this work, we present the design and manufacturing of the two multi-mode antenna arrays of the COSMO experiment and the preliminary beam pattern measurements of their fundamenta…

The advantage of Bolometric Interferometry for controlling Galactic foreground contamination in CMB primordial B-modes measurements

E. Manzan, M. Regnier, J-Ch. Hamilton +18

In the quest for the faint primordial B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, three are the key requirements for any present or future experiment: an utmost sensiti…
