Cryogenic bolometric radiometer and telescope

The design and performance of an instrument to measure cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy on angular scales from 10′ to 30′ is reported. The instrument utilizes a single-mode waveguide bolometer cooled by an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator. This is the first time a 100 mK bolometer...
