An upgraded frequency-selectable laser source (FLS) calibrator for CMB bandpass characterization
Lauren J. Saunders, Sara M. Simon, Shreya Sutariya +4
One of the biggest challenges for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments comes from the uncertainty in instrument bandpass calibration. Uncertainties in bandpass can limit f…
In-Band Scattering and Absorption of Infrared Blocking Foam Filters for Millimeter-wave Cameras
Alex Thomas, Bugao Zou, Shreya Sutariya +11
Expanded closed-cell polymer foams are widely used as thermal infrared (IR) blocking filters in millimeter-wave cameras, particularly for Cosmic Microwave Background observations.…
The Simons Observatory: Characterization of All DC/RF Routing Wafers for Detector Modules
Alicia Middleton, Kyuyoung Bae, Cody J. Duell +11
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background experiment with over 67,000 polarization-sensitive transition-edge sensor (TES) detectors currently installed for use i…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
