Advanced ACTPol is a polarization-sensitive upgrade for the 6 m aperture Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), adding new frequencies and increasing sensitivity over the previous ACTPol receiver. In 2016, Advanced ACTPol will begin to map approximately half the sky in five frequency bands (28-230 GHz). Its maps of primary and secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies -- imaged in intensity and polarization at few arcminute-scale resolution -- will enable precision cosmological constraints and also a wide array of cross-correlation science that probes the expansion history of the universe and the growth of structure via gravitational collapse. To accomplish these scientific goals, the Advanced ACTPol receiver will be a significant upgrade to the ACTPol receiver, including four new multichroic arrays of cryogenic, feedhorn-coupled AlMn transition edge sensor (TES) polarimeters (fabricated on 150 mm diameter wafers); a system of continuously rotating meta-material silicon half-wave plates; and a new multiplexing readout architecture which uses superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and time division to achieve a 64-row multiplexing factor. Here we present the status and scientific goals of the Advanced ACTPol instrument, emphasizing the design and implementation of the Advanced ACTPol cryogenic detector arrays.

  1. Forecasts of CMB $E$-mode anomalies for AliCPT-1

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    A divide-and-conquer framework using QAOA and neural network surrogates accelerates constrained MCMC by factors of 7.6 to 20.3 over classical methods.

  2. Constraining primordial oscillations and inflationary particle production with Planck, ACT DR6, and DESI DR2

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Using combined CMB and LSS observations, the analysis sets 95% CL upper limits on oscillatory amplitudes at approximately 2% of A_s and a MAP value of 0.034 for the particle production coupling constant, finding no st...

  3. Disentangling cosmic distance tensions with early and late dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Early dark energy resolves CMB-BAO tension and, combined with thawing quintessence, reduces overall cosmological tensions without phantom crossing.

  4. Forecasts of CMB $E$-mode anomalies for AliCPT-1

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Forecasts indicate AliCPT combined with Simons Observatory can detect injected E-mode dipole modulation at 99% confidence, while AliCPT alone risks biases in alignment and parity tests due to limited sky coverage.
