Abstract
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope is a 6 m telescope designed to mapthe cosmic microwave background simultaneously at 145, 215,and with arcminute resolution. Each frequency will have a 32 by32 element focal plane array of transition edge sensor bolometers. The telescope and the cold reimaging optics are optimized formillimeter-wave observations with these sensitive detectors. The design of each is described.
