Polarimetry from the Stratosphere with Spider and BLASTPol
This thesis presents the hardware development and flight performance of two balloon-borne experiments. The Spider experiment is a millimetre-wavelength polarimeter designed to measure B-mode polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background at degree scales. This pattern is the imprint of the primordi...
