BICEP3: a 95GHz refracting telescope for degree-scale CMB polarization
Bicep3 is a 550 mm-aperture refracting telescope for polarimetry of radiation in the cosmic microwave background at 95 GHz.It adopts the methodology of Bicep1, Bicep2 and the Keck Array experiments -it possesses sufficient resolution to search for signatures of the inflation-induced cosmic gravitational-wave background while utilizing a compact design for …
