  12. Photometric studies of point sources Defining the spectral energy distribution SCUBA IRAM-30m T=30K, =2 (Ivison et al. 1998) Radio galaxy 8C 1435+635

  13. 2 Main Scientific Drivers • Maximum mapping speed is the top priority goal is for at least 100 times that of SCUBA • Point-source sensitivity is nearly as important per-pixel sensitivity at least 50% better than SCUBA • Operation at two wavelengths simultaneously 450 and 850m are the preferred choices

  14. 2 Main Scientific Drivers (2) • Maximising the field-of-view is more valuable than extra wavelengths goal is for at least 8  8 arcminutes • No sky-chopping is preferable particularly for confusion-limited surveys • Image fidelity and map dynamic range “sharper” images-improved quality data Faster, deeper, better...

  15. 2 Baseline Instrument Design • Two arrays operating at 450 and 850m simultaneously • Each array instantaneously samples the sky • Field-of-view on the sky is 8  8 arcminutes • Sky-background limited performance • Pixels are DC-coupled

  20. 2 Comparison with other instruments

  21. 2 Key science with SCUBA-2... • Deep, large-scale extragalactic surveys A couple of examples: • Large-scale, high-resolution galactic surveys

  22. Confusion-limited surveys A P3 N-bodysimulation of a confusion-limited 1 deg2 area of sky with the JCMT at 850m Unbiased surveys of different sizes and depths for studying the formation of massive galaxies Hughes and Gaztanaga, 2000

  23. Large-scale surveys and galaxy clustering • Shows positions of luminous dusty starburst galaxies tracing the large-scale structure at early epochs • Large sample sizes (~5000) can test theories of structure formation • SCUBA-2 can carry out large, sensitive and unbiased surveys in modest amounts of time ~ 1 arcmin CDM simulation at z ~ 3 (Governato et al. Nature 1999)

  24. Galactic Centre SCUBA Galactic Centre Survey M8 ~ 15 shifts (or 120 hrs) of telescope time M16 SCUBA-2 Galactic PLANE Survey?

  26. 2 Instrument Design

  27. Bolometer Principles Submm radiation Load resistor RL Spider-web absorber, Temperature Tbol Heat capacity C Thermal conductance G JFETs Vout VBias NTD thermometer Rbol Load resistor RL Heat sink Temperature To

  28. 2 I 0.06 SQUID Amplifier Rbias 0.04 Resistance (Ohms) Vbias 0.02 R(T) TES 0 95.8 96 96.2 Temperature (mK) Voltage-Biased Superconducting Transition-Edge Sensors • Voltage-biased on normal - superconducting transition • Resistance is a very steep dependence on temperature in transition region • Film held at constant voltage bias - change in resistance results in a change in current through the film

  29. 2 I SQUID V P joule V P res R TES Thermal conductance Heat Reservoir Negative Electrothermal Feedback • Bias power or joule heating depends on resistance of the superconducting film Thermal/electrical Circuit • As the film cools, its resistance drops and the joule heating increases • The joule heating provides negative feedback raising the film temperature • A stable equilibrium occurs when the joule heating matches the heat loss 2 V2 Pres R Temperature Self-Regulation

  30. 2 Normal metal Superconductor Substrate Superconductor / Normal Metal BilayerTransition-Edge Sensor Superconductors in use: Aluminum Tc ~ 1.1 K Molybdenum Tc ~ 0.92 K Titanium Tc ~ 0.4 k Iridium Tc ~ 0.14 K • A bilayer of a thin superconducting film and a thin normal metal acts as a single superconductor with a • tunable - the “proximity effect” • Sharp • Reproducible  ~2 mK • Tunable

  31. TES Device Processing High resolution micromachined Mo/Cu x-ray detector Phonon noise limited Mo/Cu “pop-up” IR detector Mo/Cu process has been used to make high performance detectors for a variety of applications

Metal absorber 5mm Si grid Reflector l/4 cavity MICROMACHINED ARRAY FOR SCUBA-2 Mechanical/thermal/electrical link TES Absorbing metal film l/4 cavity Silicon substrate Reflector Silicon grid 100mK 50 mm • Silicon grids (or sheet) with absorber • TES (R ~ mW) • Interconnect and multiplexer chip 400 mm TES 100mK Absorbing grid Reflector/SQUID Indium bumps

  33. Metalised silicon grid absorber with l/4 reflector Implanted thermometer CEA-SACLAY/LETI16  16 PROTOTYPE ARRAY

  34. 2 Practical issues for TES devices • Need for high-speed readout-Wiring and warm electronics non-trivial for for large format arrays • Magnetic shielding • 1/f noise • Robustness- survival of multiple thermal/vacuum cycles • Coping with uncertain background

  35. Mo-Cu PUD with thick normal bars -16 10 In*V (Watt/sqrt(Hz) -17 10 -1 0 1 10 10 10 Frequency (Hz) Recent low-frequency test results 1/f noise dominated by amplifiers. Near the bottom of the transition, the responsivity is highest, and the 1/f knee is ~100 mHz. Biased near top of transition Biased near bottom of transition

  36. 2 Feedback Flux I SQUID Output Voltage SQUID Amplifier Input Coil Rbias SQUID Bias Current LIN Vbias X X LFB R(T) TES SQUID readouts • TES is voltage-biased and of low impedance: SQUIDs are ideal for measuring the I in these detectors • TES is wired in series with a SQUID ammeter • Each SQUID has a current bias input and voltage output • There is also a separate feedback coil to linearise the response of the SQUID • Therefore six wires per SQUID are required  180,000 wires for SCUBA-2!

N RADD RADD LIN LIN X X X X LFB LFB Row N LIN LFB Addr. N+1 RADD RADD SQUID Multiplexers • NIST have developed a method to multiplex the SQUID readouts for large format arrays • Output of N SQUIDs connected in series - each SQUID biased one at a time (time division) • Scheme means that only 2 bias and output lines are needed per column of SQUIDs • Single column multiplexers can be placed in parallel • SCUBA-2 450m array can be realised with only 801 wires...

  39. 2 Illuminationpattern D Filled arrays as an alternative to feedhorns • Array of square bolometers as bare pixels (just as in a CCD camera) • Pixel size = 0.5 Ffor full spatial sampling • Pixel field-of-view is wide (~  steradians) • Illumination to the telescope must be defined by a cold stop Cold enclosure • Near top-hat illumination of the telescope

  40. 2 Filled (bare) arrays • AdvantagesInstantaneous full sampling of the image Higher efficiency (speed) for mapping Slightly narrower beam on the sky • Disadvantages Lower speed for known point source observation Greater vulnerability to stray light Greater vulnerability to RF interference ~ 12 times more detectors for a given field of view ~ 4 times lower background per pixel  NEPPH lower by a factor of ~ 2

  41. Array boundary Vignetted area ~11arcmin ~8 arcmin 95 arcmin2 64 arcmin2 (A) Maximum F-O-V (B) Minimum F-O-V SCUBA-2 Field-of-view How many pixels do we need? 450m: 38,000 25,600 850m: 9,500 6,400

  42. 2 Operating temperature Three factors push the operation of SCUBA 2 array to the 100 mK region:- • Margin on power handling • Engineering margin on background limited NEPs to account for non-ideal performance amongst large number of pixels • Multiplexer power dissipation - NIS junctions run at 100mK

  43. 2 0.06 Total power Pmax 0.04 Resistance (Ohms) Bias power Bias power 0.02 Sky power Sky power 0 95.8 96 96.2 Temperature (mK) Good sky Poor sky Power Handling • The sharp n-s transition means that there is a fixed power level that a TES can handle • This is the power required to warm the device from the base to transition temperature • It is the sum of the bias and sky power • In a practical device it is important to have some headroom in the power handling to allow for a miss-estimation of background levels • To achieve more power headroom the base temperature has to be decreased
