QUBIC: using NbSi TESs with a bolometric interferometer to characterize the polarisation of the CMB
M. Piat, B. Bélier, L. Bergé +135
QUBIC (Q \& U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology) is an international ground-based experiment dedicated in the measurement of the polarized fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwav…
Systematic effects induced by Half Wave Plate precession into Cosmic Microwave Background polarization measurements
G. D'Alessandro, L. Mele, F. Columbro +4
The most accessible method to measure polarization features of the CMB radiation is by means of a Stokes Polarimeter based on the rotation of an Half Wave Plate. The current observ…
The short wavelength instrument for the polarization explorer balloon-borne experiment: Polarization modulation issues
F. Columbro, E. S. Battistelli, A. Coppolecchia +8
In this paper we investigate the impact of using a polarization modulator in the Short Wavelenght Instrument for the Polarization Explorer (SWIPE) of the Large Scale Polarization E…
Kinetic Inductance Detectors and readout electronics for the OLIMPO experiment
A. Paiella, E. S. Battistelli, M. G. Castellano +13
Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) are superconductive lowtemperature detectors useful for astrophysics and particle physics. We have developed arrays of lumped elements KIDs (…
Kinetic Inductance Detectors for the OLIMPO experiment: in--flight operation and performance
S. Masi, P. de Bernardis, A. Paiella +22
We report on the performance of lumped--elements Kinetic Inductance Detector (KID) arrays for mm and sub--mm wavelengths, operated at 0.3K during the stratospheric flight of the OL…
QUBIC: Exploring the primordial Universe with the Q\&U Bolometric Interferometer
Aniello Mennella, Peter Ade, Giorgio Amico +127
In this paper we describe QUBIC, an experiment that will observe the polarized microwave sky with a novel approach, which combines the sensitivity of state-of-the art bolometric de…
