2017 upgrade and performance of BICEP3: a 95GHz refracting telescope for degree-scale CMB polarization
Jae Hwan Kang, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +74
BICEP3 is a 520mm aperture on-axis refracting telescope observing the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 95GHz in search of the B-mode signal originating from…
BICEP2 / Keck Array VII: Matrix based E/B Separation applied to BICEP2 and the Keck Array
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +63
A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spheric…
Antenna-coupled TES bolometers used in BICEP2, Keck array, and SPIDER
P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin, M. Amiri +64
We have developed antenna-coupled transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers for a wide range of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry experiments, including BICEP2, Keck Arra…
BICEP2 III: Instrumental Systematics
BICEP2 Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +42
In a companion paper we have reported a detection of degree scale -mode polarization at 150 GHz by the BICEP2 experiment. Here we provide a detailed study of potential in…
BICEP2/Keck Array IV: Optical Characterization and Performance of the BICEP2 and Keck Array Experiments
The BICEP2, Keck Array Collaborations, : +51
BICEP2 and the Keck Array are polarization-sensitive microwave telescopes that observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search…
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…
