BICEP/Keck XXII: Analysis of the South Pole Atmosphere for CMB Observations
P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri +92
The South Pole is among the driest sites on Earth, and the resulting high atmospheric transparency makes it an excellent site for millimeter-wave astronomical observations. Neverth…
Status of BICEP Array and Integration of the 220/270 GHz Receiver
A. Steiger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background are critical for modern cosmology as they constrain the physics of the early universe and cosmic inflation. BICE…
Engineering of titanium transition edge sensor wafers for the BA4-90/150 receiver of BICEP Array
A. Patel, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
BA4-90/150, the fourth receiver to be deployed in the BICEP Array (BA) series, is a dichroic 90/150 GHz instrument targeting the frequency space where sensitivity to the CMB polari…
Advanced Time-Division Multiplexed Readout Chain for the BICEP Array 90/150 GHz Receiver
B. Cantrall, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
This work presents the current performance of the advanced time-division multiplexed (TDM) readout chain for the BICEP Array 90/150 GHz receiver. BA4-90/150, scheduled for deployme…
Overview and status of BICEP Array's BA4-90/150 CMB polarimeter
M. A. Petroff, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
The inflation paradigm postulates a period of rapid expansion in the early Universe, which would generate gravitational waves. These tensor perturbations would produce a faint B-mo…
Superfluid-tight cryogenic receiver with continuous sub-Kelvin cooling for EXCLAIM
Sumit Dahal, Peter A. R. Ade, Christopher J. Anderson +67
The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to survey star formation over cosmological time scales using intensity…
Optimization of an Optical Testbed for Characterization of EXCLAIM u-Spec Integrated Spectrometers
Maryam Rahmani, Emily M. Barrentine, Eric R. Switzer +19
We describe a testbed to characterize the optical response of compact superconducting on-chip spectrometers in development for the Experiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity…
In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays
J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67
Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…
Optical Design of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM)
Thomas Essinger-Hileman, Danny Chmaytelli, Trevor Oxholm +23
This work describes the design and implementation of optics for EXCLAIM, the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping. EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that wi…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: The Instrument
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. A. Baselmans +126
We describe a space-borne, multi-band, multi-beam polarimeter aiming at a precise and accurate measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The instrument is…
BICEP2 / Keck Array VII: Matrix based E/B Separation applied to BICEP2 and the Keck Array
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +63
A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spheric…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: The Receiver and Instrumentation
D. S. Swetz, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +38
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope was designed to measure small-scale anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background and detect galaxy clusters through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect…
