Thermal architecture for the QUBIC cryogenic receiver
A. J. May, C. Chapron, G. Coppi +127
QUBIC, the QU Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology, is a novel forthcoming instrument to measure the B-mode polarization anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The detec…
Winter long duration stratospheric balloons from Polar regions
Francesco Piacentini, Alessandro Coppolecchia, Paolo de Bernardis +6
A new opportunity for astronomy, cosmology, physics, and atmospheric observations is the possibility to fly stratospheric payloads at 30 - 40 km of altitude during the polar night.…
Kinetic Inductance Detectors for the OLIMPO experiment: design and pre-flight characterization
A. Paiella, A. Coppolecchia, L. Lamagna +15
We designed, fabricated, and characterized four arrays of horn--coupled, lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs), optimized to work in the spectral bands of the balloo…
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene: optical features at millimeter wavelengths
G. D'Alessandro, A. Paiella, A. Coppolecchia +5
The next generation of experiments for the measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) requires more and more the use of advanced materials, with specific physical and str…
QUBIC - The Q&U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology - A novel way to look at the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background
A. Mennella, P. A. R. Ade, J. Aumont +105
In this paper we describe QUBIC, an experiment that takes up the challenge posed by the detection of primordial gravitational waves with a novel approach, that combines the sensiti…
