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…
Design and Performance of 220 and 270 GHz Bandpass Filters for BICEP Array
A. Steiger, The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade +90
The BICEP Array (BA) is the latest in the BICEP/ Keck series of experiments that aim to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with small aperture polari…
BICEP/Keck XXI: Constraints on Early-Universe Parity Violation from Multipole-Dependent Birefringence
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +94
We present the first constraints on multipole-dependent cosmic birefringence using CMB polarization data from the BK18 dataset, which combines observations from BICEP2, Keck Array,…
A metamaterial telescope at millimetre wavelengths
Giorgio Savini, Peter Hargrave, Peter A. R. Ade +5
In this paper we present a novel telescope composed exclusively of thin, flat optical elements, each being a hot-pressed multi-layered structure combining the properties of a lens,…
