CAPMAP
(Cosmic Anisotropy Polarization Mapper)
(early 2000s array that surveyed CMB polarization)
CAPMAP (for Cosmic Anisotropy Polarization Mapper)
was an early 2000s astronomical survey
using a purpose-designed instrument to map CMB polarization
with a 0.06 degree beam at 90 GHz and a 0.10 degree beam at 40 GHz.
Observations were carried out 2002 through 2005 using a polarimeter
on a 7-meter dish located at Crawford Hill Observatory, in New
Jersey (at the same site where the CMB was discovered).
