Presidential Young Investigator Award: Submillimeter Detection and Instrument Development

将开展一项探测器和仪器开发方案，以支持四个方案领域：1.对探空火箭的漫射亚毫米背景进行绝对测量；2.研制将于1992年搭载在日本卫星上的光度计和望远镜；3.在莫纳克亚上的加利福尼亚理工学院亚毫米波天文台上建造一种用于毫米波观测的新型阵列探测器；4.使用工作在大约20百万米处的大型测辐射热探测器搜寻暗物质。

A program of detector and instrument development will be undertaken in support of four program areas: 1. absolute measurements of the diffuse submillimeter background from sounding rockets; 2. development of a photometer and telescope that will be flown on board a Japanese satellite in 1992; 3. construction of a novel array detector for millimeter.wave observations on the California Institute of Technology Submillimeter Observatory on Mauna Kea; 4. the search for dark matter using large bolometric detectors operation at approximately 20 mK.//
