The SPT-3G+ receiver design
H. Athreya, Z. Ahmed, J. E. Austermann +71
We present the thermo-mechanical design of the cryostat and camera optics for SPT-3G+, a new receiver being developed for the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The receiver consists of 1…
BICEP / Keck XVII: Line of Sight Distortion Analysis: Estimates of Gravitational Lensing, Anisotropic Cosmic Birefringence, Patchy Reionization, and Systematic Errors
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +91
We present estimates of line-of-sight distortion fields derived from the 95 GHz and 150 GHz data taken by BICEP2, BICEP3, and Keck Array up to the 2018 observing season, leading to…
Bandwidth and Aliasing in the Microwave SQUID Multiplexer
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jake A. Connors +13
The microwave SQUID multiplexer (umux) has enabled higher bandwidth or higher channel counts across a wide range of experiments in particle physics, astronomy, and spectroscopy. Th…
Plastic Laminate Antireflective Coatings for Millimeter-wave Optics in BICEP Array
Marion Dierickx, P. A. R. Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +82
The BICEP/Keck series of experiments target the Cosmic Microwave Background at degree-scale resolution from the South Pole. Over the next few years, the "Stage-3" BICEP Array (BA)…
BICEP / Keck XIII: Improved Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves using Planck, WMAP, and BICEP/Keck Observations through the 2018 Observing Season
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additi…
BICEP / Keck XV: The BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter and the First Three Year Data Set
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
We report on the design and performance of the BICEP3 instrument and its first three-year data set collected from 2016 to 2018. BICEP3 is a 52cm aperture, refracting telescope desi…
BICEP / Keck XIV: Improved constraints on axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
We present an improved search for axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with observations from the Keck Array. An all-sky, temporally sinuso…
Magnetic Sensitivity of AlMn TESes and Shielding Considerations for Next-Generation CMB Surveys
E. M. Vavagiakis, S. W. Henderson, K. Zheng +17
In the next decade, new ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments such as Simons Observatory (SO), CCAT-prime, and CMB-S4 will increase the number of detectors obs…
Design and Deployment of a Multichroic Polarimeter Array on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
R. Datta, J. Austermann, J. A. Beall +28
We present the design and the preliminary on sky performance with respect to beams and pass-bands of a multichroic polarimeter array covering the 90 and 146 GHz Cosmic Microwave Ba…
