BICEP3 focal plane design and detector performance
H. Hui, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3, the latest telescope in the BICEP/Keck program, started science observations in March 2016. It is a 550mm aperture refractive telescope observing the polarization of the co…
BICEP3 performance overview and planned Keck Array upgrade
J. A. Grayson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3 is a 520 mm aperture, compact two-lens refractor designed to observe the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 95 GHz. Its focal plane consists of modular…
Optical Characterization of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
K. S. Karkare, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3 is a small-aperture refracting cosmic microwave background (CMB) telescope designed to make sensitive polarization maps in pursuit of a potential B-mode signal from inflatio…
BICEP2 / Keck Array VIII: Measurement of gravitational lensing from large-scale B-mode polarization
The Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +63
We present measurements of polarization lensing using the 150 GHz maps which include all data taken by the BICEP2 & Keck Array CMB polarization experiments up to and including the…
BICEP2 / Keck Array VII: Matrix based E/B Separation applied to BICEP2 and the Keck Array
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +63
A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spheric…
Initial Performance of BICEP3: A Degree Angular Scale 95 GHz Band Polarimeter
W. L. K. Wu, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +49
BICEP3 is a aperture telescope with cold, on-axis, refractive optics designed to observe at the band from the South Pole. It is the newest member of the BICEP/Kec…
