In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
Microwave multiplexing on the Keck Array
Ari Cukierman, Zeeshan Ahmed, Shawn Henderson +82
We describe an on-sky demonstration of a microwave-multiplexing readout system in one of the receivers of the Keck Array, a polarimetry experiment observing the cosmic microwave ba…
BICEP2 / Keck Array XI: Beam Characterization and Temperature-to-Polarization Leakage in the BK15 Dataset
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +76
Precision measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization require extreme control of instrumental systematics. In a companion paper we have presented cosmological co…
Ultra-Thin Large-Aperture Vacuum Windows for Millimeter Wavelengths Receivers
Denis Barkats, Marion I. Dierickx, John M. Kovac +75
Targeting faint polarization patterns arising from Primordial Gravitational Waves in the Cosmic Microwave Background requires excellent observational sensitivity. Optical elements…
Mechanical design and development of TES bolometer detector arrays for the Advanced ACTPol experiment
Jonathan T. Ward, Jason Austermann, James A. Beall +27
The next generation Advanced ACTPol (AdvACT) experiment is currently underway and will consist of four Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer arrays, with three operating together,…
Design and Deployment of a Multichroic Polarimeter Array on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
R. Datta, J. Austermann, J. A. Beall +28
We present the design and the preliminary on sky performance with respect to beams and pass-bands of a multichroic polarimeter array covering the 90 and 146 GHz Cosmic Microwave Ba…
