Constraints on axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background with POLARBEAR

The POLARBEAR Collaboration, Shunsuke Adachi, Tylor Adkins +29

Very light pseudoscalar fields, often referred to as axions, are compelling dark matter candidates and can potentially be detected through their coupling to the electromagnetic fie…

The POLARBEAR-2 and Simons Array Focal Plane Fabrication Status

B. Westbrook, P. A. R. Ade, M. Aguilar +90

We present on the status of POLARBEAR-2 A (PB2-A) focal plane fabrication. The PB2-A is the first of three telescopes in the Simon Array (SA), which is an array of three cosmic mic…

Testing magnetic interference between TES detectors and the telescope environment for future CMB satellite missions

Tommaso Ghigna, Thuong Duc Hoang, Takashi Hasebe +11

The two most common components of several upcoming CMB experiments are large arrays of superconductive TES (Transition-Edge Sensor) detectors and polarization modulator units, e.g.…

High-precision temperature monitoring system for room-temperature equipment in astrophysical observations

Daiki Tanabe, Masaya Hasegawa, Masashi Hazumi +5

We present a precise thermometry system to monitor room-temperature components of a telescope for radio-astronomy such as cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation. The system…
