Mass Calibration of Optically Selected DES clusters using a Measurement of CMB-Cluster Lensing with SPTpol Data

S. Raghunathan, S. Patil, E. Baxter +129

We use cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from the 500 deg SPTpol survey to measure the stacked lensing convergence of galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Su…

Design and characterization of the SPT-3G receiver

J. A. Sobrin, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68

The SPT-3G receiver was commissioned in early 2017 on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) to map anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). New optics, detector, an…

Broadband anti-reflective coatings for cosmic microwave background experiments

A. Nadolski, A. M. Kofman, J. D. Vieira +71

The desire for higher sensitivity has driven ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments to employ ever larger focal planes, which in turn require larger reimaging o…

Optical Characterization of the SPT-3G Focal Plane

Zhaodi Pan, Peter Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +73

The third-generation South Pole Telescope camera is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background across three frequency bands (95, 150 and 220 GHz) with ~16,000 transition-e…
