Short description: Measure the anisotropy of the Cosmic microwave background
Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver[edit on Wikidata] |
ACBAR was an experiment to measure the anisotropy of the Cosmic microwave background. It was active 2000-2008.
The ACBAR 145 GHz measurements were the most precise high multipole measurements of the CMB at the time.
