Status of BICEP Array and Integration of the 220/270 GHz Receiver

A. Steiger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

Measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background are critical for modern cosmology as they constrain the physics of the early universe and cosmic inflation. BICE…

Engineering of titanium transition edge sensor wafers for the BA4-90/150 receiver of BICEP Array

A. Patel, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

BA4-90/150, the fourth receiver to be deployed in the BICEP Array (BA) series, is a dichroic 90/150 GHz instrument targeting the frequency space where sensitivity to the CMB polari…

Optics and broadband anti-reflection coatings for the BA4-90/150 receiver

A. R. Polish, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84

The BICEP Array telescopes search for primordial B-mode polarization from inflationary gravitational waves. This signal is exceedingly faint, demanding excellent map depth and syst…

Optical characterization of the BICEP array 150 and 220/270GHz CMB polarimeters in the 2026 season

M. Izquierdo Poza, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +82

BICEP Array (BA) is the current-generation instrument in the BICEP series of small-aperture, on-axis refracting telescopes at the South Pole, designed to constrain the tensor-to-sc…

Overview and status of BICEP Array's BA4-90/150 CMB polarimeter

M. A. Petroff, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

The inflation paradigm postulates a period of rapid expansion in the early Universe, which would generate gravitational waves. These tensor perturbations would produce a faint B-mo…

The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase

Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279

The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
