A Double Vacuum Window Mechanism for Space-borne Applications
K. Zilic, A. Aboobaker, F. Aubin +5
We present a vacuum window mechanism that is useful for applications requiring two different vacuum windows in series, with one of them movable and resealable. Such applications in…
Systematic effects from an ambient-temperature, continuously-rotating half-wave plate
T. Essinger-Hileman, A. Kusaka, J. W. Appel +10
We present an evaluation of systematic effects associated with a continuously-rotating, ambient-temperature half-wave plate (HWP) based on two seasons of data from the Atacama B-Mo…
Modulation of CMB polarization with a warm rapidly-rotating half-wave plate on the Atacama B-Mode Search (ABS) instrument
A. Kusaka, T. Essinger-Hileman, J. W. Appel +11
We evaluate the modulation of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization using a rapidly-rotating, half-wave plate (HWP) on the Atacama B-Mode Search (ABS). After demodulating…
Development of a Relic Neutrino Detection Experiment at PTOLEMY: Princeton Tritium Observatory for Light, Early-Universe, Massive-Neutrino Yield
S. Betts, W. R. Blanchard, R. H. Carnevale +24
The PTOLEMY experiment (Princeton Tritium Observatory for Light, Early-Universe, Massive-Neutrino Yield) aims to achieve the sensitivity required to detect the relic neutrino backg…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: The Receiver and Instrumentation
D. S. Swetz, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +38
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope was designed to measure small-scale anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background and detect galaxy clusters through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect…
ACTPol: A polarization-sensitive receiver for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
M. D. Niemack, P. A. R. Ade, J. Aguirre +39
The six-meter Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in Chile was built to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at arcminute angular scales. We are building a new polarization…
