The explanation:
This is supposed to be the log that I am keeping for the Polarbear deployment in Cedar Flat, near Bishop CA.
I do not expect to keep this bleedingly up to date, but if enough people are interested, maybe there will be more updates. I hope that most of the team member will eventually start contributing. Also, this is meant to be semi-public, so there will be a mash-up of technical and not-so technical information.
Most of you already know this, but Polarbear is a project that will study the nature of the early universe as seen through microwaves left over from the big bang. The project has been about a decade in the making, and I got involved about six years ago.
We are initially installing the instrument at Cedar Flat to test out all the systems. The idea is that the Sierras are easier to work in and reach than the eventual site, the Atacama desert in Chile.
