Abstract:
APACHE96 is a new experiment devoted to investigate the Cosmic Microwave
Background anisotropies at small angular scales. Main goal of this experiment
is to obtain a map of a circular strip of the sky around the SCP. Observations
will take advantage of the exceptional dryness and stability of the atmosphere
on the high Antarctic Plateau, at Dome C. The first run of observations was
performed in December 96 -- January 97 at the Italian-French site, Concordia,
at Dome C (Antarctica). The main features of APACHE96 are summarized below,
along with some preliminary considerations on site quality obtained from the
first mission.
