280 GHz Focal Plane Unit Design and Characterization for the Spider-2 Suborbital Polarimeter
International audience We describe the construction and characterization of the 280 GHz bolometric focal plane units (FPUs) to be deployed on the second flight of the balloon-borne Spider instrument. These FPUs are vital to Spider’s primary science goal of detecting or placing an upper limit on the...
