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…
Advanced Time-Division Multiplexed Readout Chain for the BICEP Array 90/150 GHz Receiver
B. Cantrall, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
This work presents the current performance of the advanced time-division multiplexed (TDM) readout chain for the BICEP Array 90/150 GHz receiver. BA4-90/150, scheduled for deployme…
Aliased noise characterization and mitigation in BICEP Array 150, 220 and 270 GHz time-division multiplexed detectors
S. Fatigoni, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Early observations with the BICEP Array 150 GHz (BA2-150) and 220/270 GHz (BA3-220/270) receivers revealed detector noise equivalent temperatures (NETs) higher than expected, toget…
Design and Performance of 220 and 270 GHz Bandpass Filters for BICEP Array
A. Steiger, The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade +90
The BICEP Array (BA) is the latest in the BICEP/ Keck series of experiments that aim to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with small aperture polari…
