BOOMERANG: A Balloon-borne Millimeter-Wave Telescope and Total Power Receiver for Mapping Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background
We describe BOOMERANG, a balloon-borne microwave telescope designed to map the cosmic microwave background at a resolution of 10' from the Long Duration Balloon (LDB) platform. The millimeter-wave receiver employs new technology in bolometers, readout electronics, cold reimaging optics, millime...
