SPIDER: CMB polarimetry from the edge of space
R. Gualtieri, J. P. Filippini, P. A. R. Ade +61
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the polarization of the millimeter-wave sky at large angular scales. SPIDER targets the B-mode signature of primordial gravitat…
The Thermal Design, Characterization, and Performance of the SPIDER Long-Duration Balloon Cryostat
J. E. Gudmundsson, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +40
We describe the SPIDER flight cryostat, which is designed to cool six millimeter-wavelength telescopes during an Antarctic long-duration balloon flight. The cryostat, one of the la…
The bolometric focal plane array of the Polarbear CMB experiment
K. Arnold, P. A. R. Ade, A. E. Anthony +53
The Polarbear Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization experiment is currently observing from the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. It will characterize the expected B-mode p…
Ultra High Energy Cosmology with POLARBEAR
B. Keating, S. Moyerman, D. Boettger +52
Observations of the temperature anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lend support to an inflationary origin of the universe, yet no direct evidence verifying inflati…
