We are working on precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – the relic thermal radiation that decoupled from the primordial plasma when the universe was just 0.003% of its current age. Measurements of the CMB have been central to the formation of the modern picture of the universe, and...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a unique window to fundamental physics. It can be used to probe primordial gravitational waves, which are a distinct sign that the early universe has experienced an exponentially rapid expansion at its age of ~10^-32 seconds. The CMB photons also probe the properties...

Precision measurement of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) have been a spectacular success. Measurement of CMB spectrum that beautifully matched to a black body spectrum confirmed the big bang model of the universe. Measurement of small temperature fluctuations within CMB allowed us to learn about geometry of universe, existence of Dark...
