The Future is QUIET
Contact Information

Many of the current members of the CAPMAP collaboration will soon be part of another CMB polarization experiment: QUIET (Q / U Imaging ExperimenT).  QUIET will consist of 100 (and later 1000) radiometers taking data using a telescope in Chile.  Because the technology for individual detectors is reaching the limit of how much noise it can eliminate, the use of many radiometers is the next step in making more precise polarization measurements.   The hope is that this experiment will be sensitive enough to detect the B-modes of polarization, thus giving us information about gravity waves and the energy scale of inflation.
