| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The cosmic inflation is a leading hypothesis to generate the BIg-Bang, super high density and super hot era at the early stage of the universe. Its accelerated expansion of space-time metric generated the primordial gravitational waves as well as the Big-Bang. Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB), in particular its asymmetric component of polarization patterns "B-mode", is the smoking gun evidence for the primordial gravitational waves. This primordial B-mode has not been observed yet.
We developed a CMB telescope "GroundBIRD" which aims for the primordial B-mode. This telescope implements unique technologies: high-speed rotating scan modulation, cold optics, and cutting-edge superconducting detector. This grant focused on developments for systems for high-speed scan and cold optics. We established the technology to operate superconducting detectors on such an unique operation condition.
