Research and Development for the Polarization Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background with LiteBIRD

 

LiteBIRD is the international mission to measure the all-sky polarization in the cosmic microwave background to reveal the presence of the primordial gravitational wave predicted by the inflation theory. LiteBIRD observes 34-448 GHz with wide field millimeter-wave telescopes and the 0.1K detectors.

The successful candidates will conduct research and development related to the mission instrument on board LiteBIRD, which includes , wide field millimeter telescopes, low noise detection systems, cooling systems, data processing, and ground tests of the instruments. Furthermore, it is recommended to conduct related research in the field of space astronomy and astrophysics based on the observations of electromagnetic radiation, or development of instruments for such observations from space. We will foster researchers who understand the practical side of the development of mission instrument and can lead the future missions in the field of space astronomy and astrophysics.

Required Abilities

It is preferable to have knowledge and experience in one of the following experiments:

(1) development of telescopes and/or detectors for space observations

(2) development of low-temperature detectors

(3) millimeter-wave instruments

(4) experimental studies in the field of fundamental physics

Working Environment

The successful candidates will conduct research under supervision of the professors in the department of space astronomy and astrophysics, ISAS, who are members of the LiteBIRD team and have a lot of experience in the development of instruments and promotion of space missions. If necessary, the candidates can receive supervision of other professors in the department. The department has basic facilities necessary to conduct the research such as 100mK cryostat and millimeter-wave precision measurement system.
