"Observations of Cosmic Microwave Background polarization with the QUaD experiment''

The polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation contains a wealth of information about conditions in the early universe. I will describe the QUaD experiment which operated at the South Pole from 2005-2007 and which has made some of the best measurements to date of his important signal.

Refreshments will be served in CP 179 at 3:15 PM
