The EBEX Experiment
Hannes Hubmayr
University of Minnesota
EBEX is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background polarimeter, which aims
to detect or set strong upper limits on signals from inflation produced
10-33 seconds after the big bang. I will motivate the talk by describing
the scientific goals of the project and follow with a description of the
instrument, detailing the experimental approach. I will conclude with
remarks on the EBEX North American Flight which recently took place on
June 11, 2009 from Ft. Sumner, NM.
