JPL, Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Go to top
 

JPL is responsible for production and initial testing of the modules, the most critical component in QUIET. Caltech/JPL will host one of the two analysis centers (Chicago/Caltech), making use of their experience with simulations for Planck. JPL scientists are designing and producing many of the in-dewar electronics boards; and they are slated to lead a field test of a small (7-element) array.

Columbia, Columbia University in the city of New YorkMembers of the Japanese High Energy Physics Laboratory KEK have recently joined QUIET. This constitutes the first initiative into studies of the CMB in Japan. The group is currently building a setup for testing HEMT detectors and is bringing their extensive experience in data acquisition hardware and software to bear in QUIET.

KICP is responsible for the integration and optimization/characterization of the W-band arrays. It is also responsible for the design of the in-dewar electronics systems and for producing many of the boards as well as the ADC system. Chicago will be co-designing the data acquisition system with Caltech.

The Project Manager will reside in Chicago, the managing institution in QUIET. Chicago will host one of the two analysis centers (Caltech/Chicago) making use of the experience from the analysis of CAPMAP data. In addition to the existing group Wayne Hu and center fellow Xiaomin Wang will help us in getting ready for analysis.
