Description
The QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint Tenerife) CMB Experiment will operate at the
Teide Observatory with the aim of characterizing the polarisation of the
CMB and other processes of Galactic and extragalactic emission in the
frequency range of 10-40GHz and at large and medium angular scales. The
first of the two QUIJOTE telescopes and the first multi-frequency
(10-30GHz) instrument are already built and have been tested in the
laboratory. QUIJOTE-CMB will be a valuable complement at low frequencies
for the Planck mission, and will have the required sensitivity to detect
a primordial gravitational-wave component if the tensor-to-scalar ratio
is larger than r = 0.05.
