The universe is very transparent at millimeter wavelengths, allowing the measurement of radiation travelling for billion light years, and emitted in early phases of the evolution. Cosmological redshift shifts visible-IR radiation present in the primeval plasma into the mm-range, thus providing a marvellous cosmological probe: the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In addition, dust emission in early galaxies is shifted into the mm range as well. For all these reasons, mm-wavelengths are very important for observational cosmology. Our group is active in the development of techniques, experiments, analysis methods for the CMB and mm-wave astronomy. In this research project we plan to develop new specific devices and experimental and analysis methods, in the tradition of our research group. While we already had support from other agencies (ASI, PNRA, INFN) for the HW contribution to missions like Planck, OLIMPO, LSPE, QUBIC, here we request support for innovative devices (in particular Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays) to optimize the measurement of the observable, and the development of innovative models and methods aimed at reducing the contamination of the measurements due to noise and local foreground emission. These developments will be important for both the current missions cited above and the forthcoming next-generation missions for the CMB.
