Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA): From Construction and Operation to Data Acquisition and Analysis



 

ASIAA and the Physics Department of National Taiwan University are heading a collaboration to build an interferometric array of small antennas to detect the polarisation of the CMB fluctuations and to conduct a blank survey of clusters of galaxies through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect.
