Abstract

The Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER) is a focused experiment aimed at detecting the spatial power spectrum of neutral hydrogen emission during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). PAPER is an interferometer operating from 100 - 200 MHz at the site of the future Square Kilometre Array (SKA) site in South Africa. The PAPER antennas measure linear polarization and the correlator produces full-Stokes output. PAPER currently has 64 antennas and has just completed a 141-day science integration. An expansion to 128 antennas and another long observing campaign will be complete in late 2013.
