Noise and bias in square-root compression schemes (2009)
Bernstein, Gary M., Bebek, Chris, Rhodes, Jason, Stoughton, Chris, Vanderveld, Ali, Yeh, Penshu
We investigate data compression schemes for proposed all-sky diffraction-limited visible/NIR sky surveys aimed at the dark energy problem. We show that lossy square-root compression to 1 bit of noise...
BigBOSS: The Ground-Based Stage IV Dark Energy Experiment (2009)
Schlegel, David J., Bebek, Chris, Heetderks, Henry, Ho, Shirley, Lampton, Michael, Levi, Michael, ...
The BigBOSS experiment is a proposed DOE-NSF Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure with an all-sky galaxy redshift...
Radiation Tolerance of Fully-Depleted P-Channel CCDs Designed for the SNAP Satellite (2007)
Dawson, Kyle, Bebek, Chris, Emes, John, Holland, Steve, Jelinsky, Sharon, Karcher, Armin, ...
Thick, fully depleted p-channel charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These CCDs have several advantages over conventional thin,...
