Optical development of the BISOU breadboard
Morgane Loquet Le Gall, Creidhe O'Sullivan, Bruno Borgo +4
BISOU (Balloon Interferometer for Spectral Observations of the primordial Universe) is an astronomical balloon-borne pathfinder developed as part of a preparatory study for a futur…
Beyond persuasion: Mobile electoral interfaces in polarized societies
Nuno Crokidakis, Celia Anteneodo
Many traditional models of electoral dynamics emphasize opinion change, social influence and persuasion mechanisms. In contrast, contemporary polarized societies often exhibit rela…
Galactic Science with the LiteBIRD satellite: Spectral characterization of diffuse Galactic polarized emission at the angular power spectrum level
S. Vinzl, J. Aumont, L. Vacher +108
Detection of primordial -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from tensor perturbations generated during inflation is a major scientific goal of future CMB…
Effect of total dose proton irradiation on the performance of Kinetic Inductance Detectors for far-Infrared space observatory
A. Besnard, G. Conenna, V. Sauvage +5
Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) are a promising technology for future space missions, where exposure to high-energy particles may affect detector performance. In this work, we…
Successful irradiation campaign on PRIMA/PRIMAger KIDs detectors with DRACuLA
Valentin Sauvage, Anaïs Besnard, Giulia Conenna +4
DRACuLA (Detector irRAdiation Cryogenic faciLity for Astrophysics) is a mobile dilution refrigerator platform developed at the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS) to expose sub…
Study of cosmic ray impacts on cryogenic high sensitivity detectors
Anaïs Besnard, Valentin Sauvage, Bruno Maffei
After the Planck mission's launch in 2009, bolometers of its High Frequency Instrument (HFI) were considerably affected by cosmic rays, which necessitated several years of post-tre…
