LSPE-STRIP

(Large-Scale Polarization Explorer/Survey Tenerife Polarimeter)
(CMB survey telescope in Canary Islands)

LSPE-STRIP (for Large-Scale Polarization Explorer/Survey Tenerife Polarimeter) is a 1.5-meter cross Dragone microwave telescope at Teide Observatory in the Canary Islands. The instrument was originally intended to be used along with along with LSPE-SWIPE in a balloon-borne survey termed LSPE, but instead, it has been adapted for use from the ground, deployed in 2018. Both LSPE-STRIP and LSPE-SWIPE are designed to detect CMB polarization modes, in particular, to attempt detection of B-modes.
