A typical SZE observation with ACT• ACT has 1.3’ resolution at 148 GHz.• ACT images are typically smoothed to 2.4’ for
display purposes (see Hincks et al. 2010).

• Simple observable: histogram of pixel temperature values• Use info from all clusters in the map, including SNR<5• Optimal one-halo term tSZ statistic: very sensitive to σ8
• Build on earlier ACT tSZ skewness measurement (Wilson++ 2012)

• 5x better resolution than Planck with 5x the Plancksensitivity
• 3x more polarization modes than Planck
• New constraints on the CDM cosmology
