Description

The Sunyaev-Zeldovich (S-Z) effect is a spectral distortion of the Cosmic Background Radiation, induced by inverse Compton scattering of the microwave photons by energetic electrons in hot astrophysical plasmas. The paper reports the first ever attempt to detect the S-Z effect at 1.15 mm wavelength, using bolometric detection techniques. A marginal detection of the effect in the distant cluster 0016+16 was found, but not in the cluster A478. (U.K.)
