Abstract
The Mexico-UK Submm Camara for Astronomy (MUSCAT) is a 1.1 mm receiver comprising 1458 Horn-Coupled Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKIDs) built through a collaborative effort led by Cardiff University in the UK and the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE) in Mexico. MUSCAT was successfully installed on the 50 m diameter Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) Alfonso Serrano, in December 2021 Here we provide an overview of the MUSCAT platform and present on-sky engineering tests results from scientific commissioning data.
