TL;DR: In this article, the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background measured over a wide range of l in the first flight of the MAXIMA balloon-borne experiment (MAXIMA-1) and the low-l results from the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment was used to set new constraints on a seven-dimensional space of cosmological parameters within the class of inflationary adiabatic models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the analysis of the MAXIMA-1 cosmic microwave background data to smaller angular scales using a subset of the data from three 150 GHz photometers in the fully crosslinked central 60 deg2 of the map.

TL;DR: The scientific opportunities, the basic physics of these devices, the techniques for radiation coupling, and the recent progress in direct detectors are described, as well as the work on tunnel junction (superconductor-insulator-super Conductor) and hot-electron mixers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the analysis of the MAXIMA-1 cosmic microwave background (CMB) data to smaller angular scales using data from three 150 GHz photometers in the fully cross-linked central 60 deg$^2$ of the map.

TL;DR: A measurement of the angular power spectrum of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at scales of 0&fdg;3 to 5 degrees from the North American test flight of the Boomerang experiment is described.
