SPT-3G: a next-generation cosmic microwave background polarization experiment on the South Pole telescope
© 2014 SPIE. We describe the design of a new polarization sensitive receiver, spt-3g, for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (spt). The spt-3g receiver will deliver a factor of ∼20 improvement in mapping speed over the current receiver, spt-pol. The sensitivity of the spt-3g receiver will enable the...
