摘要
BICEP3是一台口径 的望远镜，配备冷的和轴上折射光学系统，设计用于从南极观测 波段。它是BICEP/Keck系列暴涨探测器的全新成员，专门设计用于测量度角尺度上宇宙微波背景（CMB）的偏振。BICEP3设计容纳1280个双偏振像素，当完全装满时，其像素总数约为单个Keck 接收机的9倍，从而进一步提升了BICEP/Keck项目的 成图速度。BICEP3于2014-2015年南极夏季部署，装有9个探测瓦片，将在第二季增至满容量20个。在完成仪器表征测量后，CMB观测于2015年4月开始。结合来自Planck、BICEP2和Keck阵列的多频观测数据，预计BICEP3将以 置信水平将张量-标量比的上限设定为 。
