Development and characterization of a millimeter-wave circular polarization observation method using a quarter-wave plate with Simons Array

Kana Sakaguri, Darcy R. Barron, Yuji Chinone +17

We have developed and demonstrated a method for measuring circular polarization at 90 GHz by combining a quarter-wave plate (QWP) and a continuously rotating half-wave plate (HWP).…

BICEP/Keck XXII: Analysis of the South Pole Atmosphere for CMB Observations

P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri +92

The South Pole is among the driest sites on Earth, and the resulting high atmospheric transparency makes it an excellent site for millimeter-wave astronomical observations. Neverth…

The SPT-3G+ receiver design

H. Athreya, Z. Ahmed, J. E. Austermann +71

We present the thermo-mechanical design of the cryostat and camera optics for SPT-3G+, a new receiver being developed for the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The receiver consists of 1…

Constraints on the polarization angle oscillations of the Crab Nebula with the Simons Array and its applications to the search for axion-like particles

Tylor Adkins, Shahed Shayan Arani, Kam Arnold +27

We present a search for polarization oscillation of the Crab Nebula, also known as Tau A, at millimeter wavelengths using observations with the Simons Array, the successor experime…

A measurement of atmospheric circular polarization with POLARBEAR

Takuro Fujino, Satoru Takakura, Shahed Shayan Arani +20

At millimeter wavelengths, the atmospheric emission is circularly polarized owing to the Zeeman splitting of molecular oxygen by the Earth's magnetic field. We report a measurement…
