Lionel Duband receives the William E. Gifford Award from the American Cryogenic Society

ArTeMis (Bolometers Architecture for Large Field of View Ground-Based Telescopes in the Sub-millimeter) is a new submillimeter camera developed jointly by Irfu and Inac and installed inside the APEX telescope (Atacama Pathfinder Experiment), in Chile. This camera simultaneously scans the sky at three different wavelengths, namely 200, 350, and 450 μm. Bolometric detectors cooled to 300 mK are used in the camera, which is integrated in an original cryostat entirely developed at Inac.
