The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
ATHENA X-IFU Demonstration Model: First joint operation of the main TES Array and its Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC)
M. D'Andrea, K. Ravensberg, A. Argan +28
The X-IFU is the cryogenic spectrometer onboard the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is based on a large array of TES microcalorimeters, which works in combination with a Cryoge…
The large scale polarization explorer (LSPE) for CMB measurements: performance forecast
The LSPE collaboration, G. Addamo, P. A. R. Ade +102
[Abridged] The measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation is one of the current frontiers in cosmology. In particular, the detection of the primor…
Progress report on the Large Scale Polarization Explorer
L. Lamagna, G. Addamo, P. A. R. Ade +96
The Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) is a cosmology program for the measurement of large scale curl-like features (B-modes) in the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Back…
The Demonstration Model of the ATHENA X-IFU Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Guido Torrioli +11
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) of ATHENA X-IFU is designed to reduce the particle background of the instrument and to enable the mission science goals. It is a 4 p…
A Design for an Electromagnetic Filter for Precision Energy Measurements at the Tritium Endpoint
M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti, A. Bosca +48
We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate f…
