  3. EBEX – E and B Experiment Balloon based, TES detectors SMB HWP for modulation. Frequency modulation for mux. NA test/engineering flight; 13h duration. • LDB flight; 14 days, l = 20-1500

  4. Timescales and commitment • NA test flight happened; • 13 hour flight, June 10th 2009. • Data analysis underway. • LDB flight • Fully funded for build and flight • Flight planned for Dec 2010. • Planning for a flight >14 days. UK is a 5% contributor • AR coating for optical components, HWP, filters. • Flight support. • Data analysis.

  5. Predictions for LDB • If r = 0.1, S/N>5 • r < 0.02 at 2σ (excluding • systematic and foreground subtraction uncertainties)
