Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

Abstract

I will give an overview of the SPTpol and SPT-3G experiments. SPTpol is a polarization-sensitive camera designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) deployed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) in January 2012. I will present recent results of the E-mode and TE-mode CMB power spectra, derived from 100 square degrees observed in the first year of observations. Additionally I will show B-mode power spectra, measurements of the gravitational lensing potential, and briefly report on the status of the full 500 square degree SPTpol survey. Finally, I will discuss the status of SPT’s next-generation camera, SPT-3G, which will consist of 16,200 polarization-sensitive transition-edge sensors (TES), contained within 2700 multi-chroic pixels with observing bands centered at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, and scheduled to achieve first light in January 2016.
