Status of the PAPPA experimentThe Primordial Anisotropy Polarization Pathfinder Array (PAPPA) is a balloonborne instrument to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background and search for the signature of primordial gravity waves. PAPPA uses a novel marriage of RF phase modulation and millimeter-wave bolometric detectors to produce a "polarimeter-on-a-chip" capable of simultaneously measuring the Stokes I, Q, and U parameters on the sky. I will discuss the current status and future plans for PAPPA.
