Improved Absolute Polarization Calibrator for BICEP CMB Polarimeters
A. R. Polish, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
Cosmic birefringence is a hypothesized parity violation in electromagnetism that predicts a frequency-independent polarization rotation as light propagates. This would rotate the l…
BICEP/Keck XIX: Extremely Thin Composite Polymer Vacuum Windows for BICEP and Other High Throughput Millimeter Wave Telescopes
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +90
Millimeter-wave refracting telescopes targeting the degree-scale structure of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have recently grown to diffraction-limited apertures of over 0.5…
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…
In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
Results and Limits of Time Division Multiplexing for the BICEP Array High Frequency Receivers
S. Fatigoni, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
Time-Division Multiplexing is the readout architecture of choice for many ground and space experiments, as it is a very mature technology with proven outstanding low-frequency nois…
Thermal Testing for Cryogenic CMB Instrument Optical Design
D. C. Goldfinger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background rely on cryogenic instrumentation with cold detectors, readout, and optics providing the low noise performance and instrumental stab…
2022 Upgrade and Improved Low Frequency Camera Sensitivity for CMB Observation at the South Pole
A. Soliman, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Constraining the Galactic foregrounds with multi-frequency Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations is an essential step towards ultimately reaching the sensitivity to measur…
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…
