TL;DR: The Keck Array (SPUD) as discussed by the authors was used to observe the cosmic microwave background's polarization in the winter of 2011 at the South Pole using five on-axis refracting telescopes with a combined imaging array of 2500 antenna-coupled TES bolometers read with a SQUID-based time domain multiplexing system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the scenarios offered by Shoemaker et al. and find them to be disfavored by extant ANITA and HiCal experimental data, and they note that the recent report of four additional near-horizon anomalous neutrino events, at $>3σ$ significance, are incompatible with their model, which requires significant signal transmission into the ice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main beam shape and beam shape mismatch between co-located orthogonally-polarized detector pairs is investigated for the Keck Array, and the implications of measured differential beam parameters on temperature to polarization leakage in CMB analysis are discussed.
