Quantum fluctuations of the cosmic background have been measured in the 900 to 2000 micron range (H.P.B.W.) by means of a balloon-borne correlator operating between 5 and 150 Hz. Preliminary results indicate an upper limit √<dP2> ≤ 2.1 × 10−17 watt/(cm2 srad Hz)1/2, corresponding to the noise of a blackbody at a temperature T ≤ 3.1 K at 1σ.
