The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, comprising multiple Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) and a Large Aperture Telescope (LAT). The SATs are specifically designed to target primordial B-mode polarization sourced by tensor perturbations in the early Universe, conducting a focused small-area survey with high...
The proposal to build a high-frequency Small Aperture Telescope (SAT) as a new component of the Simons Observatory has gained increasing momentum over the recent years. This initiative, named KAIROS, is under evaluation for funding through the CNRS RI² program (“Recherche à risque et à impact”), with the backing of three CNRS institutes: IN2P3, INSU, and INP.
KAIROS aims to deploy a focal...
