MIST – Mapper of the IGM Spin Temperature

MIST is a Cosmology Experiment trying to detect with high precision the Global Redshifted 21-cm Signal that encapsulates the large-scale physics of the Universe during its first billion years; specifically, during the Universe’s Dark Ages, Cosmic Dawn, and Epoch of Reionization.

For this purpose, MIST conducts measurements of the sky-averaged radio spectrum at frequencies below 200 MHz from some of the most remote sites on Earth.
