The NIKA instrument: results and perspectives towards a permanent KID based camera for the Pico Veleta observatory
A. D'Addabbo, R. Adam, A. Adane +32
The New IRAM KIDs Array (NIKA) is a pathfinder instrument devoted to millimetric astronomy. In 2009 it was the first multiplexed KID camera on the sky; currently it is installed at…
Niobium Silicon alloys for Kinetic Inductance Detectors
M. Calvo, A. D'Addabbo, A. Monfardini +8
We are studying the properties of Niobium Silicon amorphous alloys as a candidate material for the fabrication of highly sensitive Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID), optimized for…
High speed readout electronics development for frequency-multiplexed kinetic inductance detector design optimization
O. Bourrion, C. Vescovi, A. Catalano +6
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKID) are a promising solution for spaceborne mm-wave astronomy. To optimize their design and make them insensitive to the ballistic phonons…
Latest NIKA results and the NIKA-2 project
A. Monfardini, R. Adam, A. Adane +32
NIKA (New IRAM KID Arrays) is a dual-band imaging instrument installed at the IRAM (Institut de RadioAstronomie Millimetrique) 30-meter telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain). Two distin…
