Sunyaev & Zel'dovich Effect
1) SZ effect depends on the projection of n along the line of sights 2) SZ effect is independent of redshift dI/d=0 1) Combination of SZ and X-ray observations gives important information on the gas structure ; Combination of SZ and X-ray observations provide information on the cluster Distance (estimate of H0) 2) SZ observations allow to observe (in principle) all the clusters in the universe

SuZIE The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Infrared Experiment
The SuZIE experiment measures the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect at multiple frequencies between 150 and 350 GHz, from the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawai'i.
