"BOLOCAM: A large format camera for mm-wave astronomy"

ABSTRACT: "We are just about to start a long engineering run of BOLOCAM at the CSO. BOLOCAM is a bolometric imaging array designed for operation in the mm-wave bands - 150, 220 and 280 GHz at the CSO. This run, we will be operating at 150 GHz where BOLOCAM is one of the most sensitive instruments for measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in clusters of galaxies. We will describe the instrument design and science goals not only in this engineering run, but over the next few years."
