LiteBIRD Mission Overview after Mission Reformation
LiteBIRD Collaboration, K. Aizawa, H. Akamatsu +172
LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led space mission designed to produce all-sky microwave polarization maps. Its primary science goal is to test representative inflationary models by measuring th…
Galactic Science with the LiteBIRD satellite: Spectral characterization of diffuse Galactic polarized emission at the angular power spectrum level
S. Vinzl, J. Aumont, L. Vacher +108
Detection of primordial -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from tensor perturbations generated during inflation is a major scientific goal of future CMB…
In-Band Scattering and Absorption of Infrared Blocking Foam Filters for Millimeter-wave Cameras
Alex Thomas, Bugao Zou, Shreya Sutariya +11
Expanded closed-cell polymer foams are widely used as thermal infrared (IR) blocking filters in millimeter-wave cameras, particularly for Cosmic Microwave Background observations.…
Optimization of lenslet arrays for PRIMA Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Sumit Dahal, Thomas R. Stevenson, Nicholas P. Costen +10
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a cryogenically cooled 1.8-m space telescope designed to address fundamental questions about the evolution of galactic ec…
Detectors for CLASS-W2: The second 90 GHz telescope of the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor
John W. Appel, Kyuyoung Bae, Charles L. Bennett +26
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is measuring the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization anisotropy on the largest angular scales (>1 degree) to probe the…
A cross-calibration approach for polarisation-sensitive detectors in CMB experiments: application to LiteBIRD's polarisation angle calibration
A. Novelli, F. Piacentini, S. Micheli +102
One of the current challenges in observational cosmology is obtaining high-precision polarisation maps of the CMB to measure primordial -modes and constrain the tensor-to-scalar…
