Scientific paper

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a new 10-meter telescope recently deployed at the NSF South Pole Station. The SPT will perform millimeter-wave observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background using a large-format bolometer array. The first goal of the SPT project will be to image 4000 square degrees of sky at arcminute resolution, searching for galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The evolution of the number density of galaxy clusters is critically sensitive to the value of fundamental cosmological parameters, and offers a poweful method to investigate the nature of dark energy. An update on the SPT project and prospects for cosmology results will be described.
