Description
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a unique window on the physics of the early Universe probing a variety of fundamental physics such as primordial gravitational waves and neutrino masses. Many of the advances in the field of CMB science have been enabled by advances in detector technology. Ground-based CMB experiments have seen order of magnitude increases in detector count with each subsequent stage with current stage-3 experiments fielding ~10K detectors. In this talk I will provide an overview of CMB detector development to date at Argonne and discuss ongoing efforts focused on developing detectors for post-stage-3 experiments like CMB-S4.
