Fabrication of a Monolithic 5-Meter Aluminum Reflector for Millimeter-Wavelength Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson | First 5 Authors: Tyler Natoli, Bradford Benson, John Carlstrom, Eric Chauvin, Bruno Clavel | Summary: We have demonstrated the fabrication of a monolithic, 5-meter diameter, aluminum reflector with 17.4 $mu$m RMS surface error. The reflector was designed to avoid the problem of pickup due to scattering from panel gaps in […]

Characterization of MKIDs for CMB observation at 220 GHz with the South Pole Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: Clarence L. Chang | First 5 Authors: Karia R. Dibert, Peter S. Barry, Adam J. Anderson, Bradford A. Benson, Thomas Cecil | Summary: We present an updated design of the 220 GHz microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) pixel for SPT-3G+, the next-generation camera for the South Pole Telescope. We show results of the […]
