Scientific paper

The QUaD (QUEST at DASI) experiment is a millimeter-wave polarimeter designed to probe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization over a multipole range of 100 to 2500. QUaD observes the CMB with an array of 31 polarization-sensitive bolometers split between two frequency bands centered at 100 and 150 GHz. The telescope is a 2.6 m on-axis Cassegrain design with beam sizes of 6.3' and 4.2' at the two respective observing frequencies. QUaD was commissioned at the South Pole in the Austral summer of 2004/2005. It has since completed two full seasons of observations with a third season underway. I will report on the status of QUaD observations and analysis. QUaD is a collaboration between institutions in the US, the UK and Ireland and is funded by the NSF, PPARC and Enterprise Ireland.
