Description
We present the current status of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) CMB
Experiment, a new instrument which will start operations early in 2009
at Teide Observatory with the aim of characterizing the polarization of
the CMB and other processes of galactic and extragalactic emission in
the frequency range 10-30GHz and at large angular scales. QUIJOTE will
be a valuable complement at low frequencies for the PLANCK mission, and
will have the required sensitivity to detect a primordial
gravitational-wave component if the tensor-to-scalar ratio is larger
than r = 0.05.
