The E and B EXperiment |
The E and B EXperiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Its goals are to detect or set an upper bound on the B-mode signal from Inflation, to detect the B-mode signal from lensing of the E-mode polarization, and to characterize the polarization of galactic dust at millimeter wave-lengths. We will review the status of the experiment. |
