CCAT: Design and Characterization of the 350 GHz Instrument Module
Ben Keller, Jordan Wheeler, Cody J. Duell +24
The CCAT Collaboration's Prime-Cam instrument will soon be deployed to the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) in Chile's Atacama Desert. Featuring prominently in Prime-Cam's…
CCAT: Optical Responsivity, Noise, and Readout Optimization of KIDs for Prime-Cam
Eliza Gazda, Quintin Meyers, James R. Burgoyne +18
The Prime-Cam instrument on the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) at the CCAT Observatory will conduct sensitive millimeter to submillimeter surveys for a range of astrophy…
CCAT: Silicon-Platelet Feedhorns for Submillimeter Wavelengths
Jason Austermann, James Beall, James R. Burgoyne +12
Silicon-platelet feedhorn arrays are an established technology at millimeter wavelengths that, for some applications, can provide significant advantages over traditional direct-mac…
CCAT: Mod-Cam Readout Overview and Flexible Stripline Performance
Ben Keller, Rodrigo Freundt, James R. Burgoyne +14
The CCAT Observatory's primary science instrument, Prime-Cam, is nearing readiness for deployment to the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) in the Atacama Desert in northern…
CCAT: Magnetic Sensitivity Measurements of Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Benjamin J. Vaughan, Yuhan Wang, Cody J. Duell +16
The CCAT Observatory is a ground-based submillimeter to millimeter experiment located on Cerro Chajnantor in the Atacama Desert, at an altitude of 5,600 meters. CCAT features the 6…
CCAT: Design, Implementation, and Testing of a System to Read Out over 10,000 280 GHz KIDs using RFSoC Electronics
Darshan A. Patel, Yuhan Wang, Cody J. Duell +28
Over the past decade, kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) have emerged as a viable superconducting technology for astrophysics at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. KIDs spa…
