Summary
The BICEP/Keck experiments are CMB polarimeters located at the South Pole in Antarctica. They are specifically designed to search for the signature of primordial gravitational waves produced during the inflationary birth of our universe. I will describe the instruments and the analysis
of multi-frequency data which allows to separate the galactic dust foreground from a potential cosmological signal, and which sets the world's best current limit of r<0.09 (95\% CL).
