CAPMAP
(Cosmic Anisotropy Polarization Mapper)
(early 2000s CMB-polarization survey)
CAPMAP (for Cosmic Anisotropy Polarization Mapper)
was an early 2000s astronomical survey
using a purpose-designed instrument to map CMB polarization
with 0.06 degree beams at 90 GHz and 0.10 degree beams at 40 GHz.
Observations were carried out 2002 through 2005 using an
focal plane array of 16 polarimeters
on a 7-meter dish located at Crawford Hill Observatory
(the Lucent Technologies Telescope),
in New Jersey (at the same site where the CMB was discovered).
