  2. The SZ power spectrum, the kinetic SZ effect and other SZ cosmological probes

Abstract

I will present the cosmological constraints from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster counts obtained by the Planck, SPT and ACT experiments. I will discuss the tension with the primary CMB and detail the current major uncertainty of the cluster analysis (the cluster mass scale). In the second course, I will present cosmological constraints from other SZ probes including the SZ power spectrum and the kinetic SZ effect.
