Improved Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 Polarimeter is a small aperture, refracting telescope, dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 95GHz. It is designed to target degree an…
BICEP / Keck XV: The BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter and the First Three Year Data Set
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
We report on the design and performance of the BICEP3 instrument and its first three-year data set collected from 2016 to 2018. BICEP3 is a 52cm aperture, refracting telescope desi…
Optical characterization of the Keck Array and BICEP3 CMB Polarimeters from 2016 to 2019
Keck Collaboration, T. St Germaine, P. A. R. Ade +71
The BICEP/Keck experiment (BK) is a series of small-aperture refracting telescopes observing degree-scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization from the South Pole in sear…
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…
Design and performance of wide-band corrugated walls for the BICEP Array detector modules at 30/40 GHz
A. Soliman, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +75
BICEP Array is a degree-scale Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment that will search for primordial B-mode polarization while constraining Galactic foregrounds. BICEP Array…
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…
