1 On scales larger than few arcminutes, the millimeter sky is dominated by CMB temperature fluctuations. A significant fraction of these CMB photons encode a wealth of information about its interaction with the local matter distribution (eg lensing, SZ, ISW or Rees-Sciama effects). On smaller scales, the millimeter sky is dominated by high redshift star forming galaxies (see talk by D.H.Hughes). All this provides a complementary tool to optical/IR view of the universe Simulations of the millimeter sky Alpha meeting @ Durham May 21, 2004 E.Gaztañaga I nstitut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya, IEEC/CSIC Alfredo Montana, Msc. Thesis @ INAOE INAOE - Barcelona Durham - Barcelona (Alfa, RAS-CSIC, IBM Earth-Simulator)

2 How to get Dark Energy from the millimeter sky: - Modeling cosmological parameters with the acoustic peaks GTM?. - Normalization of CMB fluctuations from recombination to today (sigma_8). - Volume dV/dz: eg optical/spect follow- up (GTC) of SZ Cluster Surveys (GTM). - CMB lensing/polarization surveys. - Star formation history of the universe (GTM). - Cross-correlating optical/IR objects with CMB fluctuations.
