QUIET has deployed two independent receiver arrays. The 40-GHz array took data between October 2008 and June 2009 in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. The 90-GHz array was deployed in June 2009 and observations are ongoing. Both receivers observe four 15◦ 15◦ regions of the sky in the southern hemisphere that are expected × to have low or negligible levels of polarized foreground contamination. This thesis will describe the 40 GHz (Q-band) QUIET Phase I instrument, instrument testing, observations, analysis procedures, and preliminary power spectra.

  • Wide-Survey of the QUIJOTE CMB Experiment Presented By: Federica Guidi (IAC, ULL), on Behalf of the QUIJOTE Collaboration
    Wide-survey of the QUIJOTE CMB experiment Presented by: Federica Guidi (IAC, ULL), on behalf of the QUIJOTE collaboration. I present the status and the recent results of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment. QUIJOTE is a project that operates from the Teide Observatory, with the aim to characterize the emission of the galactic foregrounds at microwave wavelengths, and to study the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, targeting the detection of the primordial gravitational waves, the so called ”B-modes”, down to a value of the tensor to scalar ratio of r = 0.05. Recently, one of the two instruments of QUIJOTE, the Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI), concluded a wide-survey campaign, during which we observed the full northern sky, at 11, 13, 17 and 19 GHz. The wide survey maps of QUIJOTE will be delivered soon to the community. Here I present the current status of the maps, and I summarize few scientific results related to them, with special emphasis on the low frequency Galactic foregrounds, such as the Synchrotron and the Anomalous Microwave Emission. XIV.0 Reunión Científica 13-15 julio 2020 Context of the research: QUIJOTE: a polarimetric CMB experiment for the characterization of the low frequency galactic foregrounds ● CMB polarization experiments are searching for the polarization pattern imprinted by primordial gravitational waves: the “B-modes”. ● QUIJOTE is a polarimetric CMB experiment installed at the Teide observatory since 2012. ● QUIJOTE extends the Planck and WMAP coverage to low frequency, with two instruments: ○ Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI): 11, 13, 17, 19 GHz; ○ Thirty and Forty GHz Instrument (TFGI): Q Q Q Q J J 30-40 GHz.

ZHAO" Draft version July 5, 2010 ABSTRACT The Atacama Cosmology Telescope was designed to measure small-scale anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background and detect galaxy clusters through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The instru­ ment is located on Cerro Taco in the Atacama Desert, at an altitude of 5190 meters. A six-met.er off-axis Gregorian telescope feeds a new type of cryogenic receiver, the Millimeter Bolometer Array Camera. The receiver features three WOO-element arrays of transition-edge sensor bolometers for observations at 148 GHz, 218 GHz, and 277 GHz.
