Design and Performance of 30/40 GHz Diplexed Focal Plane for BICEP Array
Corwin Shiu, Ahmed Soliman, Roger O'Brient +11
We demonstrate a wide-band diplexed focal plane suitable for observing low-frequency foregrounds that are important for cosmic microwave background polarimetry. The antenna element…
Thermal Testing for Cryogenic CMB Instrument Optical Design
D. C. Goldfinger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background rely on cryogenic instrumentation with cold detectors, readout, and optics providing the low noise performance and instrumental stab…
Particle response of antenna-coupled TES arrays: results from SPIDER and the lab
B. Osherson, J. P. Filippini, J. Fu +45
Future mm-wave and sub-mm space missions will employ large arrays of multiplexed Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers. Such instruments must contend with the high flux of cosmic…
Design and performance of the first BICEP Array receiver
A. Schillaci, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +66
Branches of cosmic inflationary models, such as slow-roll inflation, predict a background of primordial gravitational waves that imprints a unique odd-parity B-mode pattern in the…
Microwave multiplexing on the Keck Array
Ari Cukierman, Zeeshan Ahmed, Shawn Henderson +82
We describe an on-sky demonstration of a microwave-multiplexing readout system in one of the receivers of the Keck Array, a polarimetry experiment observing the cosmic microwave ba…
BICEP Array cryostat and mount design
M. Crumrine, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +74
Bicep Array is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiment that will begin observing at the South Pole in early 2019. This experiment replaces the five Bicep2 style…
