Report on BICEP's First Season Observing the Cosmic Microwave Background from South Pole

BICEP is a small-aperture polarimeter which began observing the CMB from South Pole in January 2006. BICEP's 25 cm refracting telescope feeds an array of 49 polarization-sensitive bolometer pairs operating at 100 and 150 GHz. A three-axis mount provides azimuth-scanning modulation, elevation co...
