Proof of concept of the COSMOCal project at the IRAM 30m telescope
S. Savorgnano, L. Bizzarri, A. Ritacco +25
This work reports on a test campaign conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope to validate the COSMOCal instrument, a novel concept for absolute calibration of polarization angle, beam p…
Data reduction pipeline for the SuMAC millimeter-wave spectrometer at the LMT
A. M. Lapuente, P. S. Barry, M. Becerril-Tapia +22
We present the data reduction and analysis pipeline for the SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) along with several key science data products. In Summer 2025, SuperSpec on-chip s…
SuMAC: On-sky demonstration of multi-pixel on-chip millimeter-wave spectroscopy at the Large Millimeter Telescope
Marcial Becerril-Tapia, Peter S. Barry, Christopher S. Benson +22
The SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) is an effort to operate SuperSpec spectrometers in the MUSCAT instrument at the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). SuperSpec is an on-chip…
Status and future development of the COSMOCal Project for absolute CMB polarization calibration
Silvia Micheli, Alessia Ritacco, Alessandro Carones +36
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization measurements are pushing instrumental sensitivities to levels where calibration systematics become a dominant limitation. The large d…
Status of the COSmological Microwave Observations CALibrator
L. Mousset, J. Aumont, S. Berta +33
As the sensitivity of CMB telescopes increases, the need for precise calibration becomes critical. Started in 2022, the COSMOCal project aims to place an artificial polarized sourc…
High-precision polarization measurements with Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Sofia Savorgnano, Andrea Catalano, Juan-Francisco Macías Perez +11
This work aims to demonstrate that two arrays of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKIDs), when employed in filled array configuration and separated by an external line…
The PolarKID project: polarization measurements with KIDs for the next generation of CMB telescopes
Sofia Savorgnano, Julien Bounmy, Olivier Bourrion +10
The goal of the PolarKID project is testing a new method for the measurement of polarized sources, in order to identify all the possible instrumental systematic effects that could…
Polarization angle accuracy for future CMB experiments. The COSMOCal project and its prototype in the 1mm band
A. Ritacco, L. Bizzarri, F. Boulanger +24
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation offers a unique window into the early Universe, facilitating precise examinations of fundamental cosmological theories. However, the…
PROTOCALC: an artificial calibrator source for CMB telescopes
Gabriele Coppi, Giulia Conenna, Sofia Savorgnano +5
Cosmic Microwave Background experiments need to measure polarization properties of the incoming radiation very accurately to achieve their scientific goals. As a result of that, it…
