Scientific paper

We propose MIPS imaging observations to detect cold intracluster dust in Milky Way globular clusters. Intracluster dust is an expected result of mass loss during stellar evolution, and thus an important check on stellar evolution and population synthesis models. While warm dust has been detected around individual mass-losing stars in globular clusters, almost all previous searches for a cold intracluster medium have been unsuccessful. The MIPS sensitivity should allow detection of dust masses of 1e-5 solar masses, well below previous surveys' upper limits.
