Spectral characterization and performance of SPT-SLIM on-chip filterbank spectrometers
C. S. Benson, K. Fichman, M. Adamic +26
The South Pole Telescope Shirokoff Line Intensity Mapper (SPT-SLIM) experiment is a pathfinder for demonstrating the use of on-chip spectrometers for millimeter (mm) Line Intensity…
Development Status of the KIPM Detector Consortium
Dylan J Temples, Zoë J. Smith, Selby Q Dang +21
A Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated Detector is a calorimeter that uses kinetic inductance detectors to read out phonon signals from the device substrate. We have established a co…
Measurement of the Full Shape of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich Power Spectrum from South Pole Telescope and {\it Herschel}-SPIRE Observations
S. Raghunathan, P. A. R. Ade, D. Anbajagane +139
We present a measurement of the full shape of the power spectrum of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect down to arcminute scales using cosmic microwave background (CMB) data…
Spontaneous generation of athermal phonon bursts within bulk silicon causing excess noise, low energy background events and quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting sensors
C. L. Chang, Y. -Y. Chang, M. Garcia-Sciveres +25
Solid state phonon detectors used in the search for dark matter and coherent neutrino nucleus interactions (CENS) require excellent energy resolution (eV-scale or below) and lo…
Room temperature reactive sputtering deposition of titanium nitride with high sheet kinetic inductance
Juliang Li, Peter S. Barry, Tom Cecil +6
Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance are important for high-sensitivity detectors, enabling strong coupling in hybrid quantum systems, and enha…
Measurements of the Temperature and E-mode Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Full 500-square-degree SPTpol Dataset
T. -L. Chou, P. A. R. Ade, A. J. Anderson +59
Using the full four-year SPTpol 500 deg dataset in both the 95 GHz and 150 GHz frequency bands, we present measurements of the temperature and -mode polarization of the cosm…
