Measurement and Modeling of Polarized Atmosphere at the South Pole with SPT-3G
A. Coerver, J. A. Zebrowski, S. Takakura +102
We present the detection and characterization of fluctuations in linearly polarized emission from the atmosphere above the South Pole. These measurements make use of data from the…
Fabrication of a Monolithic 5-Meter Aluminum Reflector for Millimeter-Wavelength Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background
Tyler Natoli, Bradford Benson, John Carlstrom +9
We have demonstrated the fabrication of a monolithic, 5-meter diameter, aluminum reflector with 17.4 m RMS surface error. The reflector was designed to avoid the problem of pick…
Characterization of MKIDs for CMB observation at 220 GHz with the South Pole Telescope
Karia R. Dibert, Peter S. Barry, Adam J. Anderson +11
We present an updated design of the 220 GHz microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) pixel for SPT-3G+, the next-generation camera for the South Pole Telescope. We show results…
Noise Optimization for MKIDs with Different Design Geometries and Material Selections
Z. Pan, K. R. Dibert, J. Zhang +13
The separation and optimization of noise components is critical to microwave-kinetic inductance detector (MKID) development. We analyze the effect of several changes to the lumped-…
Fabrication Development for SPT-SLIM, a Superconducting Spectrometer for Line Intensity Mapping
T. Cecil, C. Albert, A. J. Anderson +18
Line Intensity Mapping (LIM) is a new observational technique that uses low-resolution observations of line emission to efficiently trace the large-scale structure of the Universe…
Sidelobe Modeling and Mitigation for a Three Mirror Anastigmat Cosmic Microwave Background Telescope
Ian Gullett, Bradford Benson, Robert Besuner +16
Telescopes measuring cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization on large angular scales require exquisite control of systematic errors to ensure the fidelity of the cosmologica…
