Abstract
We report a measurement of the E-mode polarization power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using 150 GHz data taken from 2014 July to 2016 December with the Polarbear experiment. We reach an effective polarization map noise level of $32\,\mu {\rm{K}}$-$\mathrm{arcmin}$ across an observation area of 670 square degrees. We measure the EE power spectrum over the angular multipole range $500\leqslant {\ell }\lt 3000$, tracing the third to seventh acoustic peaks with high sensitivity. The statistical uncertainty on E-mode bandpowers is ~2.3 $\mu {{\rm{K}}}^{2}$ at ${\ell }\sim 1000$, with a systematic uncertainty of 0.5 $\mu {{\rm{K}}}^{..
