In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays
J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67
Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…
A Constraint on Primordial -Modes from the First Flight of the SPIDER Balloon-Borne Telescope
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +68
We present the first linear polarization measurements from the 2015 long-duration balloon flight of SPIDER, an experiment designed to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave b…
Design and pre-flight performance of SPIDER 280 GHz receivers
E. C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +79
In this work we describe upgrades to the Spider balloon-borne telescope in preparation for its second flight, currently planned for December 2021. The Spider instrument is optimize…
280 GHz Focal Plane Unit Design and Characterization for the SPIDER-2 Suborbital Polarimeter
A. S. Bergman, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +76
We describe the construction and characterization of the 280 GHz bolometric focal plane units (FPUs) to be deployed on the second flight of the balloon-borne SPIDER instrument. The…
POLARBEAR-2: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements
Y. Inoue, P. Ade, Y. Akiba +83
POLARBEAR-2 (PB-2) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiment that will be located in the Atacama highland in Chile at an altitude of 5200 m. Its science goals…
The POLARBEAR-2 and the Simons Array Experiment
A. Suzuki, P. Ade, Y. Akiba +86
We present an overview of the design and status of the \Pb-2 and the Simons Array experiments. \Pb-2 is a Cosmic Microwave Background polarimetry experiment which aims to character…
