Title: Simulating Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy measurements for Microwave Kinetic Inductance Devices,
Abstract: Microwave Kinetic Inductance Devices (MKIDs) are poised to allow for
massively and natively multiplexed photon detectors arrays and are a natural
choice for the next-generation CMB-Stage 4 experiment which will require 105
detectors. In this proceed- ing we discuss what noise performance of present
generation MKIDs implies for CMB measurements. We consider MKID noise spectra
and simulate a telescope scan strategy which projects the detector noise onto
the CMB sky. We then analyze the simulated CMB + MKID noise to understand
particularly low frequency noise affects the various features of the CMB, and
thusly set up a framework connecting MKID characteristics with scan strategies,
to the type of CMB signals we may probe with such detectors.
