The POLARBEAR-2 and Simons Array Focal Plane Fabrication Status

B. Westbrook, P. A. R. Ade, M. Aguilar +90

We present on the status of POLARBEAR-2 A (PB2-A) focal plane fabrication. The PB2-A is the first of three telescopes in the Simon Array (SA), which is an array of three cosmic mic…

Development of the characterization methods without electrothermal feedback for TES bolometers for CMB measurements

Yume Nishinomiya, Akito Kusaka, Kenji Kiuchi +6

Superconducting Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers are used for cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. We used a testbed to evaluate the thermal performance of TES bo…

A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning

Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43

The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…

Testing magnetic interference between TES detectors and the telescope environment for future CMB satellite missions

Tommaso Ghigna, Thuong Duc Hoang, Takashi Hasebe +11

The two most common components of several upcoming CMB experiments are large arrays of superconductive TES (Transition-Edge Sensor) detectors and polarization modulator units, e.g.…

A measurement of the mean central optical depth of galaxy clusters via the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with SPT-3G and DES

E. Schiappucci, F. Bianchini, M. Aguena +139

We infer the mean optical depth of a sample of optically-selected galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) via the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. The…
