Particle Physics with the Cosmic Microwave Background with SPT-3G
J. S. Avva, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +85
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) encodes information about the content and evolution of the universe. The presence of light, weakly interacting particles impacts the expansion…
Superconducting On-chip Fourier Transform Spectrometer
R. Basu Thakur, N. Klimovich, P. K . Day +4
Kinetic inductance in thin film superconductors has been used as the basis for low-temperature, low-noise photon detectors. In particular thin films such as NbTiN, TiN, NbN, the ki…
Atomic Layer Deposition Niobium Nitride Films for High-Q Resonators
Calder Sheagren, Peter Barry, Erik Shirokoff +1
Niobium nitride (NbN) is a useful material for fabricating detectors because of its high critical temperature and relatively high kinetic inductance. In particular, NbN can be used…
CMB-S4 Decadal Survey APC White Paper
Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead +222
We provide an overview of the science case, instrument configuration and project plan for the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4, for consid…
Performance of Al-Mn Transition-Edge Sensor Bolometers in SPT-3G
A. J. Anderson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
SPT-3G is a polarization-sensitive receiver, installed on the South Pole Telescope, that measures the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from degree to arcminute s…
On-sky performance of the SPT-3G frequency-domain multiplexed readout
A. N. Bender, A. J. Anderson, J. S. Avva +86
Frequency-domain multiplexing (fMux) is an established technique for the readout of large arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers. Each TES in a multiplexing module has a…
CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan
Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead +222
We present the science case, reference design, and project plan for the Stage-4 ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4.
Fractional Polarisation of Extragalactic Sources in the 500-square-degree SPTpol Survey
N. Gupta, C. L. Reichardt, P. A. R. Ade +77
We study the polarisation properties of extragalactic sources at 95 and 150 GHz in the SPTpol 500 deg survey. We estimate the polarised power by stacking maps at known source p…
Consistency of cosmic microwave background temperature measurements in three frequency bands in the 2500-square-degree SPT-SZ survey
L. M. Mocanu, T. M. Crawford, K. Aylor +42
We present an internal consistency test of South Pole Telescope (SPT) measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropy using three-band data from the SP…
Design and Bolometer Characterization of the SPT-3G First-year Focal Plane
W. Everett, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +73
During the austral summer of 2016-17, the third-generation camera, SPT-3G, was installed on the South Pole Telescope, increasing the detector count in the focal plane by an order o…
