First Results from the CAPMAP Experiment

CAPMAP is a dedicated 40 and 90 GHz CMB polarization experiment. Observing with a 7m radio telescope from Holmdel, NJ CAPMAP intends to measure the primary polarization of the CMB at small (60'-4') angular scale where the signal is maximum. I will discuss the design of the experiment, results from its first season, and the full observing campaign intended to culminate this academic year.
