Data Acquisition System for a Distributed Smartphone Cosmic Ray Observatory
Jeff Swaney, Chase Shimmin, Daniel Whiteson
A scientific instrument comprised of a global network of millions of independent, connected, remote devices presents unique data acquisition challenges. We describe the software de…
Measurement of Smartphone Sensor Efficiency to Cosmic Ray Muons
Jeff Swaney, Michael Mulhearn, Christian Pratt +2
A measurement of the efficiency of CMOS sensors in smartphone cameras to cosmic ray muons is presented. A coincidence in external scintillators indicates the passage of a cosmic ra…
Observing Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays with Smartphones
Daniel Whiteson, Michael Mulhearn, Chase Shimmin +3
We propose a novel approach for observing cosmic rays at ultra-high energy (~eV) by repurposing the existing network of smartphones as a ground detector array. Extensive…
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…
The POLARBEAR Experiment
Z. Kermish, P. Ade, A. Anthony +53
We present the design and characterization of the POLARBEAR experiment. POLARBEAR will measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales ranging f…
The new generation CMB B-mode polarization experiment: POLARBEAR
The Polarbear Collaboration, J. Errard, P. A. R. Ade +43
We describe the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization experiment called Polarbear. This experiment will use the dedicated Huan Tran Telescope equipped with a powerful 1,20…
