Physics Chat
The potential of kinetic inductance detectors for CMB studies
Speaker: Gethin Robson (SDOYLE)
Date: Friday 12 February 2021
Time: 15:00
Venue: Zoom
The Cosmic Microwave Background exists in a region of the EM spectrum known as the terahertz gap, a band of frequencies which are practically undetectable with conventional technologies. Until recently, superconducting bolometers have been the most successful solution, however the need for large scale detector arrays to overcome the photon noise limit requires a detector technology that is much more trivial to multiplex. Kinetic inductance detectors may be the key to unlocking the secrets of the CMB.
