Absorber tests are done on Mambo 1 and Mambo2 to measure the bolometer noise and possible anomouls noise (acceleration,reheating, ...)

<<TableOfContents>>


=== How to proceed ===

Ideally the measurements should be done with the moving telescope to be as cloas as possible in the observation condition.
