Scientific paper
Archeops, a balloon-borne experiment, will provide a measurement of CMB anistropies from large to small angular scale thanks to its large sky coverage (30%), its high angular resolution (10 arcminutes), and its high signal-to-noise ratio due to high sensitivity 100 mK cooled bolometers. We will therefore be able to put strong constraints on the value of the cosmological parameters. Archeops flew already twice, once in Sicily for a technical flight in 1999, and once from Sweden for its first scientific flight in January 2001. I describe here Archeops'main characteristics, the preliminary results from the scientific flight, the expected precision of this flight for power spectrum measurements, and perspectives for the next flights this winter.
