Abstract:
This paper presents results obtained with the Jodrell Bank - IAC two-element
33, GHz interferometer, located at the Teide Observatory on Tenerife, which
is designed to measure the level of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
fluctuations on angular scales of 1\degr and 2\degr. The results, at the
68\%\, confidence limit, from a maximum likelihood analysis of
observations taken at Dec +41\degr are $\Delta T_\ell=64^{+7}_{-7}
{\rm\,\mu K}$ at $\ell =208 \pm 18$ and $\Delta T_\ell=56^{+5.5}_{-6.0}{\rm\,\mu K}$ at $\ell=106 \pm 19$. The contribution of possible foreground contaminants are considered.
