White Mountain Polarimeter, Telescope, Cosmic Microwave Background
Scientific paper
The past two decades have been an exciting time in the field of cosmology and, in particular, studies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). One of the hot topics in cosmology research today is measuring and mapping CMB polarization. The White Mountain Polarimeter (WMPol) is a dedicated, ground-based microwave telescope and receiver system to measure CMB polarization which was installed in the Barcroft Observatory of the University of California White Mountain Research Station in September 2003. Presented here is a brief review of our current understanding of big bang cosmology and a description of the WMPol instrument, the observing conditions at the 3880-meter altitude Barcroft site, the data acquired during the 2004 observing campaign, and the data analysis.
