EBEX
(E and B Experiment)
(balloon-based CMB polarization survey)
EBEX (for E and B Experiment)
was a 1.5-m balloon-borne radio telescope
that surveyed CMB polarization in 2012/2013,
aiming to sense polarization modes (E-modes and B-modes).
It used transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers
operating at 0.25 K, centered on three
frequencies, 150 GHz, 250 GHz, and 410 GHz.
