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…

Antenna-coupled TES bolometers for the Keck Array, Spider, and Polar-1

R. O'Brient, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +50

Between the BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments, we have deployed over 1500 dual polarized antenna coupled bolometers to map the Cosmic Microwave Background's polarization. We have b…

Optimization and sensitivity of the Keck Array

S. Kernasovskiy, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +41

The Keck Array (SPUD) began observing the cosmic microwave background's polarization in the winter of 2011 at the South Pole. The Keck Array follows the success of the predecessor…

Optical Characterization of the Keck Array Polarimeter at the South Pole

A. G. Vieregg, P. A. R. Ade, R. Aikin +37

The Keck Array (SPUD) is a set of microwave polarimeters that observes from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search of a signature of Inflation imprinted as B-mode polari…

BICEP2 and Keck Array operational overview and status of observations

R. W. Ogburn, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +50

The BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments are designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 2-4 degrees (l=50-100). This is the reg…
