Optimization of Transition Edge Sensor Arrays for Cosmic Microwave Background Observations With the South Pole Telescope

Junjia Ding, +76 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the optimization of transition-edge-sensor (TES) detector arrays for the third-generation camera for the South Pole Telescope, which will make high-angular-resolution maps of the temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurements of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Scaling Relations for Clusters of Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from clusters of galaxies using the SuZIE II, and compared the central Comptonization, y, and the integrated SZ flux decrement, S, for each of the clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI

SECOND SEASON QUIET OBSERVATIONS: MEASUREMENTS OF THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND POLARIZATION POWER SPECTRUM AT 95 GHz

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the measurement of CMB polarization power spectra using the 95 GHz data and derive limits on all known systematic errors, and demonstrate that these correspond to a tensorto-scalar ratio smaller than r = 0.01, the lowest level yet reported in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing Cosmic Inflation with the LiteBIRD Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Survey

LiteBIRD Collaboration E. Allys, +185 more
TL;DR: LiteBIRD as discussed by the authors , a satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and inflation from cosmic background radiation detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics, which is planned to orbit the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2, where it will map the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization over the entire sky for three years, with three telescopes in 15 frequency bands between 34 and 448 GHz, achieving an unprecedented total sensitivity of 2.2
