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…
Temperature calibration of the E and B experiment
Francois Aubin, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +40
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation and to characterize the polarization…
The performance of the bolometer array and readout system during the 2012/2013 flight of the E and B experiment (EBEX)
Kevin MacDermid, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +38
EBEX is a balloon-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation. During its eleven day science flight in the Austral Summer of 2…
Biasing and Demodulation Firmware for Kilopixel TES Bolometer Arrays
Graeme Smecher, Francois Aubin, Eric Bissonnette +3
We describe the signal-processing firmware and software for a frequency-domain multiplexed (FDM) biasing and demodulation system that reads out Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolomet…
Software systems for operation, control, and monitoring of the EBEX instrument
Michael Milligan, Peter Ade, François Aubin +35
We present the hardware and software systems implementing autonomous operation, distributed real-time monitoring, and control for the EBEX instrument. EBEX is a NASA-funded balloon…
The EBEX Cryostat and Supporting Electronics
Ilan Sagiv, Asad M. Aboobaker, Chaoyun Bao +41
We describe the cryostat and supporting electronics for the EBEX experiment. EBEX is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure the B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave…
Design and characterization of TES bolometers and SQUID readout electronics for a balloon-borne application
Johannes Hubmayr, Francois Aubin, Eric Bissonnette +7
We present measurements of the electrical and thermal properties of new arrays of bolometeric detectors that were fabricated as part of a program to develop bolometers optimized fo…
