QUaD: A High-Resolution Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter
23 pages, 36 figures We describe the QUaD experiment, a millimeter-wavelength polarimeter designed to observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from a site at the South Pole. The experiment comprises a 2.64 m Cassegrain telescope equipped with a cryogenically cooled receiver containing an array...
