This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, is for the development of planar-antenna-coupled superconducting bolometer arrays for observations at sub-millimeter to millimeter wavelengths. The $990,616 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to create an hierarchical phased array of broadband pixels that can greatly reduce the cost and improve the performance of future NASA missions in the sub-millimeter to millimeter frequency range. This work supports the prioritization of cosmic microwave background polarization measurements and other science goals in this wavelength regime, as identified by groups like the Astro2010 Decadal Survey. The contract has no set-aside designation and runs through February 2021. The parent organization administering the funding is the State of California Controller's Office.
