"Mining the holes in the sky: prospects for SZ surveys"


Gil Holder
McGill University

Abstract:

Upcoming and ongoing surveys for clusters using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect are expected to find large numbers of galaxy clusters extending past z=2. Number counts and angular clustering as a function of redshift contain a wealth of information, and I will discuss some of the more interesting opportunities and theoretical challenges.
