Improved Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 Polarimeter is a small aperture, refracting telescope, dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 95GHz. It is designed to target degree an…
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…
2017 upgrade and performance of BICEP3: a 95GHz refracting telescope for degree-scale CMB polarization
Jae Hwan Kang, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +74
BICEP3 is a 520mm aperture on-axis refracting telescope observing the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 95GHz in search of the B-mode signal originating from…
BICEP2 / Keck Array VII: Matrix based E/B Separation applied to BICEP2 and the Keck Array
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +63
A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spheric…
Antenna-coupled TES bolometers used in BICEP2, Keck array, and SPIDER
P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin, M. Amiri +64
We have developed antenna-coupled transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers for a wide range of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry experiments, including BICEP2, Keck Arra…
BICEP2 III: Instrumental Systematics
BICEP2 Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +42
In a companion paper we have reported a detection of degree scale -mode polarization at 150 GHz by the BICEP2 experiment. Here we provide a detailed study of potential in…
Self-Calibration of BICEP1 Three-Year Data and Constraints on Astrophysical Polarization Rotation
J. P. Kaufman, N. J. Miller, M. Shimon +33
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarimeters aspire to measure the faint -mode signature predicted to arise from inflationary gravitational waves. They also have the potential…
