BICEP3 focal plane design and detector performance
H. Hui, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3, the latest telescope in the BICEP/Keck program, started science observations in March 2016. It is a 550mm aperture refractive telescope observing the polarization of the co…
Optical Characterization of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
K. S. Karkare, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3 is a small-aperture refracting cosmic microwave background (CMB) telescope designed to make sensitive polarization maps in pursuit of a potential B-mode signal from inflatio…
BICEP2 / Keck Array VII: Matrix based E/B Separation applied to BICEP2 and the Keck Array
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +63
A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spheric…
Initial Performance of BICEP3: A Degree Angular Scale 95 GHz Band Polarimeter
W. L. K. Wu, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +49
BICEP3 is a aperture telescope with cold, on-axis, refractive optics designed to observe at the band from the South Pole. It is the newest member of the BICEP/Kec…
