abstract

  • We review the recently published results from the CBI's first season of observations. Angular power spectra of the CMB were obtained from deep integrations of 3 single fields covering a total of 3 deg^2 and 3 shallower surveys of overlapping (mosaiced) fields covering a total of 40 deg^2. The observations show a damping of the anisotropies at high-l as expected from the standard scenarios of recombination. We present parameter estimates obtained from the data and discuss the significance of an excess at l>2000 observed in the deep fields.
