History of QUaD


Once upon a time a collaboration called QUEST:
Caltech (JPL) provide bolometers
Stanford provide focal plane and integrate receiver
Cardiff provide mirrors, cryostat
In early 2003 receiver under construction but problems getting money to deploy...

At that time DASI starting on final season
Suggestion to put QUEST receiver on DASI mount
Collaborative proposal to NSF submitted mid 2003
Funded early 2004 - experiment deployed late 2004!

QUaD = QUest And Dasi
