The Atacama B-Mode Search (ABS) is an astrophysical research project focused on measuring the B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. B-mode polarization is a specific type of polarization pattern in the CMB that can provide insights into the early universe, particularly regarding inflation, which is the rapid expansion of the universe that is theorized to have occurred just after the Big Bang.
