Electromagnetic Properties of Aluminum-based Bilayers for Kinetic Inductance Detectors
G. Wang, P. S. Barry, T. Cecil +7
The complex conductivity of a superconducting thin film is related to the quasiparticle density, which depends on the physical temperature and can also be modified by external pair…
Conceptual Design of the Modular Detector and Readout System for the CMB-S4 survey experiment
D. R. Barron, Z. Ahmed, J. Aguilar +47
We present the conceptual design of the modular detector and readout system for the Cosmic Microwave Background Stage 4 (CMB-S4) ground-based survey experiment. CMB-S4 will map the…
CMB-S4 Decadal Survey APC White Paper
Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead +222
We provide an overview of the science case, instrument configuration and project plan for the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4, for consid…
Performance of Al-Mn Transition-Edge Sensor Bolometers in SPT-3G
A. J. Anderson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
SPT-3G is a polarization-sensitive receiver, installed on the South Pole Telescope, that measures the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from degree to arcminute s…
On-sky performance of the SPT-3G frequency-domain multiplexed readout
A. N. Bender, A. J. Anderson, J. S. Avva +86
Frequency-domain multiplexing (fMux) is an established technique for the readout of large arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers. Each TES in a multiplexing module has a…
Performance of a low-parasitic frequency-domain multiplexing readout
A. E. Lowitz, A. N. Bender, P. Barry +14
Frequency-domain multiplexing is a readout technique for transition edge sensor bolometer arrays used on modern CMB experiments, including the SPT-3G receiver. Here, we present des…
CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan
Kevork Abazajian, Graeme Addison, Peter Adshead +222
We present the science case, reference design, and project plan for the Stage-4 ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment CMB-S4.
Design and Bolometer Characterization of the SPT-3G First-year Focal Plane
W. Everett, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +73
During the austral summer of 2016-17, the third-generation camera, SPT-3G, was installed on the South Pole Telescope, increasing the detector count in the focal plane by an order o…
Year two instrument status of the SPT-3G cosmic microwave background receiver
A. N. Bender, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a millimeter-wavelength telescope designed for high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The SPT measures both the tem…
Characterization and performance of the second-year SPT-3G focal plane
D. Dutcher, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68
The third-generation instrument for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, was first installed in January 2017. In addition to completely new cryostats, secondary telescope opt…
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…
