Descripción
This paper presents the results from the Jodrell Bank-Instituto de
Astrofisicia de Canarias (IAC) two-element 33-GHz interferometer
operated with an element separation of 32.9 wavelengths and hence
sensitive to 1°-scale structure on the sky. The level of cosmic
microwave background (CMB) fluctuations, assuming a flat CMB spatial
power spectrum over the range of multipoles l=208+/-18, was found using
a likelihood analysis to be ΔTl63-6+7μK at the 68per
cent confidence level, after the subtraction of the contribution of
monitored point sources. Other possible foreground contributions have
been assessed and are expected to have negligible impact on this result.
