Self-Calibration of BICEP1 Three-Year Data and Constraints on Astrophysical Polarization Rotation
J. P. Kaufman, N. J. Miller, M. Shimon +33
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarimeters aspire to measure the faint -mode signature predicted to arise from inflationary gravitational waves. They also have the potential…
Scientific verification of Faraday Rotation Modulators: Detection of diffuse polarized Galactic emission
S. Moyerman, E. Bierman, P. A. R. Ade +28
The design and performance of a wide bandwidth linear polarization modulator based on the Faraday effect is described. Faraday Rotation Modulators (FRMs) are solid-state polarizati…
Absolute polarization angle calibration using polarized diffuse Galactic emission observed by BICEP
Tomotake Matsumura, Peter Ade, Denis Barkats +25
We present a method of cross-calibrating the polarization angle of a polarimeter using BICEP Galactic observations. \bicep\ was a ground based experiment using an array of 49 pairs…
