The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Detectors and Readout
The EBEX Collaboration, Maximilian Abitbol, Asad M. Aboobaker +37
EBEX was a long-duration balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The experiment had three frequency bands centered at 150, 250, and…
Intensity-Coupled-Polarization in Instruments with a Continuously Rotating Half-Wave Plate
Joy Didier, Amber D. Miller, Derek Araujo +31
We discuss a systematic effect associated with measuring polarization with a continuously rotating half-wave plate. The effect was identified with the data from the E and B Experim…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Optics, Receiver, and Polarimetry
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +35
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne cosmic microwave background polarimeter that flew over Antarctica in 2013. We describe the experiment's optical syst…
The EBEX Balloon-Borne Experiment - Gondola, Attitude Control, and Control Software
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad Aboobaker, Peter Ade +33
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. EBEX was the fir…
A Double Vacuum Window Mechanism for Space-borne Applications
K. Zilic, A. Aboobaker, F. Aubin +5
We present a vacuum window mechanism that is useful for applications requiring two different vacuum windows in series, with one of them movable and resealable. Such applications in…
Torsional Balloon Flight Line Oscillations: Comparison of Modelling to Flight Data
François Aubin, Benjamin Bayman, Shaul Hanany +4
During the EBEX2013 long duration flight the payload was free to rotate in azimuth. The observed azimuth motion consisted of a superposition of full rotations with a period of 10-3…
