                         detection of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) at radio 
                         frequencies. This will be achieved by measuring the distribution 
                         of neutral hydrogen gas at cosmological distances using a 
                         technique called Intensity Mapping. Along with the Cosmic 
                         Microwave Background anisotropies, the scale of BAO is one of the 
                         most powerful probes of cosmological parameters, including dark 
                         energy. The telescope will be built in a very low RFI site in 
                         South America and will operate in the frequency range from 0.96 
                         GHz to 1.26 GHz. The telescope design consists of two s 40-m 
                         compact mirrors with no moving parts. Such a design will give the 
                         excellent polarization performance and very low sidelobe levels 
                         required for intensity mapping. With a feedhorn array of 50 
                         receivers, it will map a 15 declination strip as the sky drifts 
                         past the eld-of-view of the telescope. The BINGO consortium is 
                         composed Universidade de S~ao Paulo, Instituto Nacional de 
                         Pesquisas Espaciais (Brazil), University of Manchester and 
                         University College London (United Kingdom), ETH Zurich 
                         (Switzerland) and Universidad de La Republica (Uruguay). The 
                         telescope assembly and horn design and fabrication are under way 
                         in Brazil. The receiver was designed in UK and will be developed 
                         in Brazil, with most of the components for the receiver will also 
                         be supplied by Brazilian industry. The experience and science 
                         goals achieved by the BINGO team will be advantageous as a 
                         pathnder mission for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project.
