Abstract: (arXiv)

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope is a 6-meter telescope designed to map the Cosmic Microwave Background simultaneously at 145 GHz, 215 GHz, and 280 GHz with arcminute resolution. Each frequency will have a 32 by 32 element focal plane array of TES bolometers. This paper describes the design of the telescope and the cold reimaging optics, which is optimized for millimeter-wave observations with these sensitive detectors.
