Abstract
{QUaD} is a bolometric {CMB} polarimeter sited at the South Pole, operating at frequencies of 100 and 150 {GHz.} In this paper we report preliminary results from the first season of operation (austral winter 2005). All six {CMB} power spectra are presented derived as cross spectra between the 100 and 150 {GHz} maps using 67 days of observation in a low foreground region of approximately 60 deg2. These data are a small fraction of the data acquired to date. The measured spectra are consistent with the {??CDM} cosmological model. We perform jackknife tests that indicate that the observed signal has negligible contamination from instrumental systematics. In addition, by using a frequency jackknife we find no evidence for foreground contamination.
