BOOMERANG: A Balloon-borne Millimeter Wave Telescope and Total Power Receiver for Mapping Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background
B. P. Crill, P. A. R. Ade, D. R. Artusa +34
We describe BOOMERANG; a balloon-borne microwave telescope designed to map the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at a resolution of 10' from the Long Duration Balloon (LDB) platfor…
The BOOMERANG North America Instrument: a balloon-borne bolometric radiometer optimized for measurements of cosmic background radiation anisotropies from 0.3 to 4 degrees
F. Piacentini, P. A. R. Ade, R. Bathia +24
We describe the BOOMERANG North America (BNA) instrument, a balloon-borne bolometric radiometer designed to map the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation with 0.3 deg resolut…
First results from the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
We report the first results from the BOOMERanG experiment, which mapped at 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz a wide (3%) region of the microwave sky with minimal local contamination. From t…
Measurement of a Peak in the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum from the North American test flight of BOOMERANG
P. D. Mauskopf, P. A. R. Ade, P. de Bernardis +31
We describe a measurement of the angular power spectrum of anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from 0.3 degrees to ~10 degrees from the North American test flight…
