Scientific paper

We propose the activities for the 5th semester of the PGMS, aimed at surveying the polarized Galactic diffuse emission along the Galactic meridian l=254 deg at 2.3 GHz. The area covered is a 5 x 90 deg^2 strip. Carried on at a frequency where the Faraday rotation effects are weak, the aim of these observations is two-fold: cosmology and Galactic physics. As for the former, it allows the study of the contamination of CMBP by synchrotron emission as a function of the Galactic latitude, in particular helping determine the effectiveness of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization to investigate the primordial gravitational wave background left by Inflation. As for the second aim, it allows the investigation of the intrinsic Galactic polarized emission structure, still hidden at lower frequency, and the study of the Galactic magnetic field in the halo and in the transition region between disc and halo.
