Design, assembly, and initial test results of a cryostat for holographic characterization of microwave telescopes
Jon E. Gudmundsson, Miranda Eiben, Thomas J. L. J. Gascard +1
We describe the design, fabrication, assembly, and room-temperature vacuum qualification of a 1.4-m long cylindrical cryostat developed for holographic testing of cryogenic microwa…
Design of ALPHA Phase I: A Plasma Haloscope for 10--20 GHz Post-Inflation Axions
ALPHA Collaboration, Xiran Bai, Rustam Balafendiev +54
The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle capable of resolving both the strong CP problem and the dark matter mystery, with recent post-inflationary cosmological simulati…
picoMUX: microcontroller based time-domain multiplexing readout for kilopixel TES arrays
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +23
The paper introduces picoMUX, a microcontroller‑based time‑domain multiplexing readout system for kilopixel transition‑edge sensor (TES) arrays that achieves sub‑microsecond row dw…
Sub-Kelvin Cryogenics for a Super-Pressure Balloon-Borne CMB Polarimeter: Taurus
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +23
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment designed to operate more than 10,000 transition-edge sensor bolometers at a base temperature near 100 mK duri…
Polarization rotation through differential transmission in refractive CMB telescopes identified using a hybrid physical optics method
Xiaodong Ren, Rustam Balafendiev, Jon E. Gudmundsson
We identify a polarization rotation systematic in the far field beams of refractive cosmic microwave background (CMB) telescopes caused by differential transmission in anti-reflect…
