TL;DR
The QUIJOTE CMB Experiment aims to measure polarization of the cosmic microwave background and galactic emissions at 10-30 GHz, complementing Planck and potentially detecting primordial gravitational waves if r>0.05.
Contribution
This paper reports the development status of QUIJOTE, a new low-frequency CMB polarization experiment designed to detect primordial gravitational waves.
Findings
Upcoming operation at Teide Observatory in 2009.
Sensitivity sufficient to detect gravitational waves if r>0.05.
Complementary to the Planck mission.
Abstract
We present the current status of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) CMB Experiment, a new instrument which will start operations early 2009 at Teide Observatory, with the aim of characterizing the polarization of the CMB and other processes of galactic and extragalactic emission in the frequency range 10-30 GHz and at large angular scales. QUIJOTE will be a valuable complement at low frequencies for the PLANCK mission, and will have the required sensitivity to detect a primordial gravitational-wave component if the tensor-to-scalar ratio is larger than r=0.05.
