Finding Clusters in SZ Surveys

Abstract
We use simulated maps to investigate the ability of high resolution, low noise surveys of the CMB to create catalogues of Clusters of galaxies by detecting the characteristic signature imprinted by the Sunyaev Zeldovich effect. We compute the completeness of the catalogues in our simulations for several survey strategies, and evaluate the relative merit of some Fourier and wavelet based filtering techniques.
