Hierarchical sinuous phased array for increased mapping speed of multichroic focal planes

Ari Cukierman, Adrian T. Lee, Christopher Raum +2

We present the design, fabrication and measured performance of a hierarchical sinuous-antenna phased array coupled to transition-edge-sensor (TES) bolometers for measurements of th…

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…

Magnetic Sensitivity of AlMn TESes and Shielding Considerations for Next-Generation CMB Surveys

E. M. Vavagiakis, S. W. Henderson, K. Zheng +17

In the next decade, new ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments such as Simons Observatory (SO), CCAT-prime, and CMB-S4 will increase the number of detectors obs…

CMB-S4 Technology Book, First Edition

Maximilian H. Abitbol, Zeeshan Ahmed, Darcy Barron +58

CMB-S4 is a proposed experiment to map the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to nearly the cosmic variance limit for angular scales that are accessible from the…

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…
