TES Bolometer Data Results for TIME
ORAL
Abstract
TIME (Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment) seeks to better understand the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), the time period when the first stars and galaxies ionized the intergalactic medium. This is achieved by mapping the fluctuations of the 157.7 um fine-structure line of singly ionized carbon [CII]. The experiment uses arrays of superconducting transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers to make a measurement of the [CII] power spectrum. We will present some of the recent data results from the experiment regarding load curves for the TES detectors, optical efficiency measurements, and maps.
*I would like to express my thank to the entire TIME team for providing funding for my research.
