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…
In-flight calibration and verification of the Planck-LFI instrument
Anna Gregorio, Francesco Cuttaia, Aniello Mennella +40
In this paper we discuss the Planck-LFI in-flight calibration campaign. After a brief overview of the ground test campaigns, we describe in detail the calibration and performance v…
Status of MUSIC, the MUltiwavelength Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera
Sunil R. Golwala, Clint Bockstiegel, Spencer Brugger +21
We present the status of MUSIC, the MUltiwavelength Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera, a new instrument for the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. MUSIC is designed to have a 14', d…
Antenna-coupled TES bolometers for the Keck Array, Spider, and Polar-1
R. O'Brient, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +50
Between the BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments, we have deployed over 1500 dual polarized antenna coupled bolometers to map the Cosmic Microwave Background's polarization. We have b…
Optimization and sensitivity of the Keck Array
S. Kernasovskiy, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +41
The Keck Array (SPUD) began observing the cosmic microwave background's polarization in the winter of 2011 at the South Pole. The Keck Array follows the success of the predecessor…
Optical Characterization of the Keck Array Polarimeter at the South Pole
A. G. Vieregg, P. A. R. Ade, R. Aikin +37
The Keck Array (SPUD) is a set of microwave polarimeters that observes from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search of a signature of Inflation imprinted as B-mode polari…
