The NIKA 2012-2014 observing campaigns: control of systematic effects and results
A. Catalano, R. Adam, A. Adane +35
The New IRAM KID Array (NIKA) is a dual-band camera operating with frequency multiplexed arrays of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKIDs) cooled to 100 mK. NIKA is de…
Performance and calibration of the NIKA camera at the IRAM 30 m telescope
A. Catalano, M. Calvo, N. Ponthieu +34
The New IRAM KID Array (NIKA) instrument is a dual-band imaging camera operating with Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) cooled at 100 mK. NIKA is designed to observe the sky at wa…
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…
Development of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for NIKA
M. Roesch, A. Benoit, A. Bideaud +10
Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors(LEKIDs) have recently shown considerable promise as direct absorption mm-wavelength detectors for astronomical applications. One major r…
Kinetic inductance detectors for millimeter and submillimeter astronomy / Détecteurs à inductance cinétique pour l'astronomie millimétrique et sub-millimétrique
Nicolas Boudou, Alain Benoit, Olivier Bourrion +5
We present recent developments in Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) for large arrays of detectors. The main application is ground-based millimeter wave astronomy. We focus in part…
