Issue Date: | 2018 | Volume: | Millimeter, Submillimeter, and Far-Infrared Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy IX | Editors: | Zmuidzinas, Jonas; Gao, Jian-Rong | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10708 | First Page: | 107081G | Abstract: | In this paper we discuss the latest developments of the STRIP instrument of the "Large Scale Polarization Explorer" (LSPE) experiment. LSPE is a novel project that combines ground-based (STRIP) and balloon-borne (SWIPE) polarization measurements of the microwave sky on large angular scales to attempt a detection of the "B-modes" of the Cosmic Microwave Background polarization. STRIP will observe approximately 25% of the Northern sky from the "Observatorio del Teide" in Tenerife, using an array of forty-nine coherent polarimeters at 43 GHz, coupled to a 1.5 m fully rotating crossed-Dragone telescope. A second frequency channel with six-elements at 95 GHz will be exploited as an atmospheric monitor. At present, most of the hardware of the STRIP instrument has been developed and tested at sub-system level. System-level characterization, starting in July 2018, will lead STRIP to be shipped and installed at the observation site within the end of the year. The on-site verification and calibration of the whole instrument will prepare STRIP for a 2-years campaign for the observation of the CMB polarization. | Conference Name: | Millimeter, Submillimeter, and Far-Infrared Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy IX | Conference Place: | Austin, Texas, United States | Conference Date: | 10-15 June, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28446 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1812.03687v1 https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10708/2313558/The-STRIP-instrument-of-the-Large-Scale-Polarization-Explorer/10.1117/12.2313558.short?SSO=1 |
