Abstract

The BaR-SPOrt experiment is designed to measure theE-mode power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave BackgroundPolarization (CMBP) in the multipole range 50 < l < 1000. In the current configuration at 32 GHz it can explore up to l = 400.Recent low frequency observations of the target region show that the synchrotron emission should not contamine the CMBP already at 32 GHz. A 6-month observation of a 6° × 6° sky area during the polar night, in idealenvironmental conditions, will allow the Italian-French collaboration to both measure the E–mode power spectrum with appropriate sensitivityand perform important tests of the anomalous dust emission.The BaR-SPOrt 32 GHz instrument, now under test and readyfor operations by Spring 2005, is proposed for 1–2 years Winter operations at Dome C.
