Cosmological Results from Five Years of 30 GHz CMB Intensity Measurements with the Cosmic Background Imager

This paper brings together the complete archive of CBI total intensity and polarization CMB data for final analysis. I was part of a small sub-group which was responsible for independently re-analysing and calibrating the complete data set, for checking consistency across the differing observations via jack-knife tests and for implementing additional data checks including dish pointing errors, primary beam effects and thermal noise estimation. I was also heavily involved in the analysis and interpretation of the point source contamination issues discussed in section 3. I assisted with the writing of the paper and the final scientific analysis and conclusions.
