Measuring the 21 cm Global Brightness Temperature Spectrum During the Dark Ages with the SCI-HI Experiment

Abstract

We present an update on the SCI-HI experiment, which is designed to measure the all-sky (global) 21 cm brightness temperature during the end of the Dark Ages. Results from preliminary observations in June 2013 are discussed, along with system improvements and planned future work.
