E和B实验，EBEX，是一个宇宙微波背景极化实验，旨在探测或设定原始重力波的特征上限。原始重力波被预测是由暴胀产生的，对这些重力波的功率谱的测量是对暴胀能量尺度的测量。EBEX有足够的灵敏度来检测或设定一个置信度为95%的暴胀能量上限，即小于1.4 × 1016 GeV。本文回顾了我们实现科学目标的战略，并讨论了该工具的实施。
The E and B Experiment, EBEX, is a Cosmic Microwave Background polarization experiment designed to detect or set upper limits on the signature of primordial gravity waves. Primordial gravity waves are predicted to be produced by inflation, and a measurement of the power spectrum of these gravity waves is a measurement of the energy scale of inflation. EBEX has sufficient sensitivity to detect or set an upper limit at 95% confidence on the energy scale of inflation of < 1.4 × 1016 GeV. This article reviews our strategy for achieving our science goals and discusses the implementation of the instrument.
