Abstract

We describe a measurement of the angular power spectrum of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at scales of 0°.3 to 5° from the North American test flight of the Boomerang experiment. Boomerang is a balloon-borne telescope with a bolometric receiver designed to map CMB anisotropies on a long-duration balloon flight. During a 6 hr test flight of a prototype system in 1997, we mapped more than 200 deg² at high Galactic latitudes in two bands centered at 90 and 150 GHz with a resolution of 26′ and 16′.5 FWHM, respectively. Analysis of the maps gives a power spectrum with a peak at angular scales of 1° with an amplitude 70 μΚ_CMB.
