Prototype High Angular Resolution LEKIDs for NIKA2

Prototype High Angular Resolution LEKIDs for NIKA2

The current resolution of the NIKA2 260 GHz arrays is limited by the 1.6 × 1.5 mm 2 inductor size on the individual pixels. In view of future updates of the instrument, we have developed a prototype array with smaller pixels that is experimentally compared to the current pixel design. In laboratory,...

Zusammenfassung:The current resolution of the NIKA2 260 GHz arrays is limited by the 1.6 × 1.5 mm 2 inductor size on the individual pixels. In view of future updates of the instrument, we have developed a prototype array with smaller pixels that is experimentally compared to the current pixel design. In laboratory, we find an increase of the angular resolution of 8%, promising an on-sky FWHM resolution of 10 . 2 ′ ′ using this new pixel design.
