We present the temperature and polarization angular power spectra of the CMB measured by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) from 5400 deg 2 of the 2013–2016 survey, which covers >15000 deg 2 at 98 and 150 GHz. For this analysis we adopt a blinding strategy to help avoid confirmation bias and,...
