Scientific paper

The Princeton IQU Experiment (PIQUE) is a ground-based telescope designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Between 19 January 2000 and 2 April 2000, this telescope observed one of the Stokes parameters (Q) on the ring at δ = 89o from the roof of Jadwin Hall, Princeton, NJ. The telescope had a beam full-width-half-maximum of 0.24o and the detector was a single correlation polarimeter operating at 90 GHz. These observations have yielded a new limit on the polarization of the CMB in the multipole range 100 < l < 600. This work was supported by NIST precision measurement grant #60NANB8D0061 and by NSF grant #PHY9600015. Additional support was provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation through their fellowships for STS and BW respectively.
