BICEP Array: 150 GHz detector module development
A. Schillaci, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +81
The BICEP/Keck Collaboration is currently leading the quest to the highest sensitivity measurements of the polarized CMB anisotropies on degree scale with a series of cryogenic tel…
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…
The Design and Integrated Performance of SPT-3G
J. A. Sobrin, A. J. Anderson, A. N. Bender +120
SPT-3G is the third survey receiver operating on the South Pole Telescope dedicated to high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Sensitive measurements…
Performance and characterization of the SPT-3G digital frequency-domain multiplexed readout system using an improved noise and crosstalk model
J. Montgomery, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +118
The third generation South Pole Telescope camera (SPT-3G) improves upon its predecessor (SPTpol) by an order of magnitude increase in detectors on the focal plane. The technology u…
Design and pre-flight performance of SPIDER 280 GHz receivers
E. C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +79
In this work we describe upgrades to the Spider balloon-borne telescope in preparation for its second flight, currently planned for December 2021. The Spider instrument is optimize…
Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter is a small-aperture refracting telescope located at the South Pole and is specifically designed to search for the possible signature of inflationary grav…
