5 CBI Power spectrum extraction Visibilities ‘gridded’ in uv plane [Myers at al. 2002]. Quadratic estimator solves for the ML band powers 6x7 field mosaic; ~10 hrs. 16 processor GS320 cluster @ CITA Foreground templates projected out using known positions

6 CBI Mosaic Power Spectrum 3 6x7 field mosaics ~ 145’x165’ each ~ 40 sq. deg. [Pearson et al. 2002] “Silk” damping

10 CBI Deep Field Power Spectrum BOOMERanG 2001 [Mason et al. 2002]

11 CBI High-l Excess Significant power above l=2000. 3.5  inconsistent with zero and 3.1  inconsistent with best-fit model. Secondary Anisotropies from Sunyaev- Zeldovich Effect? Amplitude ~ 4.5 higher than expected signal from residual low-flux sources Estimate includes 50% error in residual source flux.

17 Simulation of Deep Observations by the CBI Input SZ mapReconstructed Signal

18 Bandpower Estimation with a SZ Foreground CBI Pipeline recovers input SZE signal at observed amplitudes Non-Gaussian scatter from the SZ signal is significant in the high-l band given the small areas observed Single Deep Field (08h) simulated observation

19 Flat HST-h Priors LSS parameters from CMB and other Cosmological Surveys

21 The CBI observations l<2000 give consistent parameters with those of previous experiments on larger angular scales Measurement of the damping tail at l>1000 6’ scales probing ~10 14 M O  seeds of clusters High-l excess; Simulations show the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect fits the observed power for  8 ~1.0. This is in the high- end of the range allowed by CMB and LSS surveys SZE: high-accuracy determination of  8. Break  8 -Ω M degeneracy  Ω Λ Follow-up on excess Extended mosaic data ~ 80 sq. deg. Improved hydrodynamical simulations Summary
