QUBIC II: Spectral polarimetry with bolometric interferometry

L. Mousset et al.

Summary: Bolometric interferometry is a novel technique for spectral imaging, which can differentiate between the cosmic microwave background and astrophysical foregrounds. This paper illustrates the methodology using QUBIC and investigates point source reconstruction and Galactic dust mapping, as well as the noise properties of spectral imaging.

QUBIC I: Overview and science program

J. -Ch. Hamilton et al.

Summary: QUBIC is a novel polarimeter designed to measure the B-mode polarization of the CMB, addressing the challenge of observational cosmology. It combines the advantages of interferometry and bolometric detectors to control instrumental systematic effects and achieve wide-band sensitivity. This article provides an overview of the instrument design, calibration results, and scientific program, including measurements of both primordial B-modes and Galactic foregrounds. It also presents the forecast for typical observations, showing a statistical sensitivity of Sigma(r) = 0.015.

QUBIC V: Cryogenic system design and performance

S. Masi et al.

Summary: This study describes the design and experimental validation of the cryogenic system for the QUBIC experiment, which aims to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The system has a large volume and mass, and uses cryogenic detector arrays and cold optical systems to enhance mapping speed. After more than 6 months of continuous operation testing, the system has been proven to operate stably.

QUBIC VIII: Optical design and performance

C. O'Sullivan et al.

Summary: QUBIC is a ground-based experiment aiming to detect B-mode polarization anisotropies in the CMB. It mitigates the systematic errors of ground-based observations using the novel technique of bolometric interferometry, which combines the sensitivity of an imager with the error control of an interferometer.

QUBIC VI: Cryogenic half wave plate rotator, design and performance

G. D'Alessandro et al.

Summary: This paper presents the design and testing results of a crucial optical element, half-wave plate (HWP), for the QUBIC experiment. The rotating precision of the QUBIC HWP reaches 0.15 degrees using a stepper motor and custom-made optical encoder, without causing any thermal issues during measurements. Finite element thermal simulations estimate a maximum temperature gradient within the HWP of <= 10 mK. Polarization modulation measurements at 150 GHz demonstrate a polarization efficiency of over 99%.
