We present the design, implementation, and initial performance of a highly multiplexed cryogenic superconducting detector readout system in the context of its deployment to the Simons Observatory large-aperture telescope (LAT). The Simons Observatory is a cosmic microwave background experiment located at 5,200 m in Chi...

We characterize a flight-grade array of lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) developed for the long-wavelength module of the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM). From an 864-pixel science array, we select 490 well-isolated resonators spanning the focal plane and readout band and measure their thermal respo...

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) will cover six spectral bands between 30 and 280 GHz primarily to search for evidence of primordial gravitational waves in th...

SPT-3G+ is the next survey receiver planned to be installed in early 2029 on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT). This new receiver will feature 6,020 polarization-sensitive dichroic pixels with transition-edge sensors observing in frequency bands centered at 90 GHz and 150 GHz. The 24,080 detectors in the SPT-3G+...
