Calibration Measurements of the BICEP3 and BICEP Array CMB Polarimeters from 2017 to 2024
Christos Giannakopoulos, Clara Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 and BICEP Array polarimeters are small-aperture refracting telescopes located at the South Pole designed to measure primordial gravitational wave signatures in the Cosmi…
Development of the 220/270 GHz Receiver of BICEP Array
Keck Collaboration, Y. Nakato, P. A. R. Ade +82
Measurements of B-mode polarization in the CMB sourced from primordial gravitational waves would provide information on the energy scale of inflation and its potential form. To ach…
Multi-layer anti-reflection coats using ePTFE membrane for mm-wavelength plastic optics
Miranda Eiben, Keara Carter, Marion Dierickx +7
Future millimeter wavelength experiments aim to both increase aperture diameters and broaden bandwidths to increase the sensitivity of the receivers. These changes produce a challe…
Constraining Inflation with the BICEP/Keck CMB Polarization Experiments
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP/ (BK) series of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments has, over the past decade and a half, produced a series of field-leading constra…
The Precursor Small Aperture Telescope (PreSAT) CMB polarimeter
Matthew A. Petroff, Zeeshan Ahmed, James J. Bock +14
The search for the polarized imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as direct evidence of cosmic inflation requires exquisite sensitivit…
