Scientific paper

High-significance measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in luminous X-ray clusters can now be made using interferometers, bolometers, and radiometers. Subject to some modelling uncertainties, these data can be used for a variety of cosmological purposes, including the study of the Hubble diagram and the measurement of the baryon fraction in clusters. Several groups are working on the next steps in the utilization of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, surveys for the effect in cluster samples and in blank fields, and improved measurements of the spectrum of the effect to extract its kinematic component. This article reviews the current state of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect research, and discusses its scientific aims, with particular attention to the AMiBA and OCRA projects.
