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.

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.

Significance (null detection): SDSS high-z: P= 0.3% for < 10 deg. (P=1.4% for 4-10 deg) SDSS all: P= 4.8% Combined: P=0.1 - 0.03% (3.3 - 3.6 sigma) Pablo Fosalba, EG, F.Castander (astro-ph/0307249) = 0.69-0.87 ( 2-sigma)

Simulating the mm sky HOW? -Large area (>1000 sqr.deg.’s) -Large scales (>1 Mpc) - Back to high redshifts (z=1 => L=1000’s Mpc) => Hubble Volume Simulations WHY? - Non-linear effects. - Projection effects. -SZ, lensing, sub-mm /dust in galaxies
