In everyone. the context of this model, recent measurements of the temperature fluctuations have led to profound conclusions about the origin, evolution and composition of the uni- verse. Given knowledge of the temperature angular power spectrum, this theoretical framework yields a prediction for the level of the CMB polarization with essentially no free parameters. A determination of the CMB polarization would therefore provide a critical test of the underlying theoretical framework of this standard model. In this thesis, we report the detection of polarized anisotropy in the Cosmic Mi- crowave Background radiation with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI), located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station.

  • Analysis and Measurement of Horn Antennas for CMB Experiments
    Analysis and Measurement of Horn Antennas for CMB Experiments Ian Mc Auley (M.Sc. B.Sc.) A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Maynooth University Department of Experimental Physics, Maynooth University, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland. October 2015 Head of Department Professor J.A. Murphy Research Supervisor Professor J.A. Murphy Abstract In this thesis the author's work on the computational modelling and the experimental measurement of millimetre and sub-millimetre wave horn antennas for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments is presented. This computational work particularly concerns the analysis of the multimode channels of the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) of the European Space Agency (ESA) Planck satellite using mode matching techniques to model their farfield beam patterns. To undertake this analysis the existing in-house software was upgraded to address issues associated with the stability of the simulations and to introduce additional functionality through the application of Single Value Decomposition in order to recover the true hybrid eigenfields for complex corrugated waveguide and horn structures. The farfield beam patterns of the two highest frequency channels of HFI (857 GHz and 545 GHz) were computed at a large number of spot frequencies across their operational bands in order to extract the broadband beams. The attributes of the multimode nature of these channels are discussed including the number of propagating modes as a function of frequency. A detailed analysis of the possible effects of manufacturing tolerances of the long corrugated triple horn structures on the farfield beam patterns of the 857 GHz horn antennas is described in the context of the higher than expected sidelobe levels detected in some of the 857 GHz channels during flight.

  • CMB Telescopes and Optical Systems to Appear In: Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems (PSSS) Volume 1: Telescopes and Instrumentation
    CMB Telescopes and Optical Systems To appear in: Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems (PSSS) Volume 1: Telescopes and Instrumentation Shaul Hanany ([email protected]) University of Minnesota, School of Physics and Astronomy, Minneapolis, MN, USA, Michael Niemack ([email protected]) National Institute of Standards and Technology and University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA, and Lyman Page ([email protected]) Princeton University, Department of Physics, Princeton NJ, USA. March 26, 2012 Abstract The cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) is now firmly established as a funda- mental and essential probe of the geometry, constituents, and birth of the Universe. The CMB is a potent observable because it can be measured with precision and accuracy. Just as importantly, theoretical models of the Universe can predict the characteristics of the CMB to high accuracy, and those predictions can be directly compared to observations. There are multiple aspects associated with making a precise measurement. In this review, we focus on optical components for the instrumentation used to measure the CMB polarization and temperature anisotropy. We begin with an overview of general considerations for CMB ob- servations and discuss common concepts used in the community. We next consider a variety of alternatives available for a designer of a CMB telescope. Our discussion is guided by arXiv:1206.2402v1 [astro-ph.IM] 11 Jun 2012 the ground and balloon-based instruments that have been implemented over the years. In the same vein, we compare the arc-minute resolution Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the South Pole Telescope (SPT). CMB interferometers are presented briefly. We con- clude with a comparison of the four CMB satellites, Relikt, COBE, WMAP, and Planck, to demonstrate a remarkable evolution in design, sensitivity, resolution, and complexity over the past thirty years.

We summarise the balloon-borne and ground-based experiments that, after COBE-DMR, yielded detection or significant upper limits to CMB fluctuations. A comparison of subsets of combined data indicates that the acoustic features observed today in the angular power spectrum are not dominated by undetected systematics. Pushing the accuracy of CMB anisotropy measurements to their ultimate limits represents one of the best opportunities for cosmology to develop into a precision science in the next decade.

The RING5M experiment was one of the first attempts to constrain the anisotropy power on sub-horizon scales, by observing a set of 7 -size fields around the North Celestial Pole (NCP). Fields were selected close to the NCP to allow continuous integration from the Owens Valley site. The experiment detected significant emission at both 14.5 GHz and 30 GHz, consistent with a mixture of CMB and aflat- spectrum foreground component, which we termed anomalous, as it could be explained neither by thermal dust emission, nor by standard models for synchrotron or free-free emission. A significant spatial correlation was found between the extracted foreground component and structure in the IRAS 100 m maps.

Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread iv Abstract Measurement of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization will provide a powerful check on the model that describes CMB ∆T fluctuations as arising from density fluctuations in the early universe, break degeneracies between cosmological parameters that arise in interpreting ∆T fluctuations, and may ultimately allow de- tection of the stochastic gravity-wave background predicted by inflationary models.

The Medium Scale Anisotropy Measurement (MSAM1) is balloon-borne telescope designed to mea- sure anisotropies near the first Doppler peak in the CMBR power spectrum. The instrument chops a 28' beam in a 3 position pattern with a throw of ±40', simul- taneously measuring single and double differenced sky signals. These data in four spectral channels centered at 5.7, 9.3, 16.5, and 22.6 cm- 1 are fit to a two component spectral model consisting of CMBR anisotropy and thermal emission from interstellar dust.

Sirbi1 ABSTRACT We describe the development of a bolometric receiver designed to measure the arcminute-scale polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The Polatron will be mounted at the Cassegrain focus of the 5.5 m telescope at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO). The receiver will measure both the Q and U Stokes parameters over a 20% pass-band centered near 100 GHz, with the input polarization signal modulated at 0:6 Hz by a rotating, birefringent, ∼ quartz half-wave plate. In six months of observation we plan to observe 400 ∼ 2.5 arcminute pixels in a ring about the North Celestial Pole to a precision of 6 µK/pixel in each of Q and U, adequate to unambiguously detect CMB ∼ polarization at levels predicted by current models. Subject headings: cosmic background radiation — cosmology: observations — instrumentation: polarimeters — polarization 1.
