Detecting the B-mode Polarisation of the CMB with Clover
C. E. North, B. R. Johnson, P. A. R. Ade +41
We describe the objectives, design and predicted performance of Clover, which is a ground-based experiment to measure the faint ``B-mode'' polarisation pattern in the cosmic microw…
The Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarization: BLAST-pol
G. Marsden, P. A. R. Ade, S. Benton +35
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) is a sub-orbital experiment designed to study the process of star formation in local galaxies (including the Milky…
Observing CMB polarisation through ice
Luca Pietranera, Stefan Buhler, Paolo G. Calisse +8
Ice crystal clouds in the upper troposphere can generate polarisation signals at the uK level. This signal can seriously affect very sensitive ground based searches for E- and B-mo…
Absolute calibration and beam reconstruction of MITO (a ground-based instrument in the millimetric region)
G. Savini, A. Orlando, E. S. Battistelli +4
An efficient sky data reconstruction derives from a precise characterization of the observing instrument. Here we describe the reconstruction of performances of a single-pixel 4-ba…
Triple Experiment Spectrum of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect in the Coma Cluster: H_0
E. S. Battistelli, M. De Petris, L. Lamagna +11
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect was previously measured in the Coma cluster by the Owens Valley Radio Observatory and Millimeter and IR Testa Grigia Observatory experiments and r…
Far infrared polarimeter with very low instrumental polarization
E. S. Battistelli, M. De Petris, L. Lamagna +6
After a short analysis of the main problems involved in the construction of a Far Infrared polarimeter with very low instrumental noise, we describe the instrument that will be emp…
Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature at Galaxy Clusters
E. S. Battistelli, M. De Petris, L. Lamagna +7
We have deduced the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature in the Coma cluster (A1656, ), and in A2163 () from spectral measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'do…
MAD-4-MITO, a Multi Array of Detectors for ground-based mm/submm SZ observations
L. Lamagna, M. De Petris, F. Melchiorri +5
The last few years have seen a large development of mm technology and ultra-sensitive detectors devoted to microwave astronomy and astrophysics. The possibility to deal with large…
