Project Description

Develop and test transition edge sensor (TES) bolometer arrays for precision polarimetry of cosmic microwave background (CMB).  Verify that critical antenna performance requirements, especially beam squint and cross-polarization are met.

Anticipated Benefits

Missions will benefit from development of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometer arrays for precision polarimetry of cosmic microwave background (CMB).
