Collaborative Research: Polarization Sensitive Multi-Chroic MKIDs

这是一个合作项目，旨在建立一个阵列系统，作为未来宇宙微波背景(CMB)仪器的探路者。这些阵列将在130 GHz到280 GHz之间的多个频率使用被称为微波动态电感器件(MKID)的探测器。每个数组将有20个元素。这项工作的更广泛影响包括对本科生和研究生进行仪器开发方面的培训，这有助于建立美国STEM领域的劳动力队伍。MKID阵列是为同时表征宇宙微波背景(CMB)和银河系尘埃发射的偏振特性而设计的实验。该设备的设计建立在成功的过渡边缘传感器(TES)测辐射热计架构的基础上，这些架构已在阿塔卡马宇宙学望远镜(ACT)和南极望远镜(SPT)的仪器中得到证明。

This is a collaborative project to build a system of arrays that will serve as a pathfinder for future Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) instruments. The arrays will use detectors known as Microwave Kinetic Inductance Device (MKID) detectors in multiple frequencies between 130 GHz and 280 GHz. Each array will have 20 elements. Broader impacts of the work include the training of undergraduate and graduate students in instrumentation development, which helps build the US workforce in STEM fields.The MKID arrays are tailored for experiments that are designed to simultaneously characterize the polarization properties of both the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and Galactic dust emission. The device design builds from successful transition edge sensor (TES) bolometer architectures that have been demonstrated to work in instruments on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and South Pole Telescope (SPT).
