1. Name of program and authors Name: Kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect of Galaxy Clusters Authors: Naoki Yoshida, Naoshi Sugiyama, Tetsuo Hasegawa 2. One short paragraph with science goal(s) Peculiar velocities of galaxy clusters can be determined from measurements of the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effects. Using a large sample of clusters distributed over a wide range of redshift, one can infer the time evolution of the cosmic velocity field of which the growth factor is a sensitive measure of cosmological parameters. In particular a systematic survey seves as an excellent method of determining the so-called equation of state of the dark energy. 3. Number of sources (e.g., 1 deep field of 4'x4', 50 YSO's, 300 T Tauri stars with disks, ...; do NOT list individual sources or your "pet object", except in special cases like LMC, Cen A, HDFS) 1' fields for 30 clusters 4. Coordinates: 4.1. Rough RA and DEC (e.g., 30 sources in Taurus, 30 in Oph, 20 in Cha, 30 in Lupus) (uniformly distributed over the sky) 4.2. Moving target: no 4.3. Time critical: no 5. Spatial scales: 5.1. Angular resolution (arcsec): 1 5.2. Range of spatial scales/FOV (arcsec): 60 (single field for Band 3, small mosaic for Band 6) 5.3. Single dish total power data: yes 5.4. ACA: yes 5.5. Subarrays: no 6. Frequencies: 6.1. Receiver band: Band 3, 6 (220 GHz is essential to remove foreground/background) 6.2. Lines and Frequencies (GHz): 90 and 220 GHz (approximate; do NOT go into detail of correlator set-up but indicate whether multi-line or single line; apply redshift correction yourself; for multi-line observations in a single band requiring different frequency settings, indicate e.g. "3 frequency settings in Band 7" without specifying each frequency (or give dummies: 340., 350., 360. GHz). For projects of high-z sources with a range of redshifts, specify e.g. "6 frequency settings in Band 3". Apply redshift correction yourself) 6.3. Spectral resolution (km/s): not required 6.4. Bandwidth or spectral coverage (km/s or GHz): 8 GHz x dual pol 7. Continuum flux density: 7.1. Typical value (Jy): 0.1 mJy/beam (take average value of set of objects) (optional: provide range of fluxes for set of objects) 7.2. Required continuum rms (Jy or K): 0.01 mJy/beam 7.3. Dynamic range within image: 10 (from 7.1 and 7.2, but also indicate whether e.g. weak objects next to bright objects) 8. Line intensity: 8.1. Typical value (K or Jy): (take average value of set of objects) (optional: provide range of values for set of objects) 8.2. Required rms per channel (K or Jy): 8.3. Spectral dynamic range: 9.

Comments on observing strategy (e.g. line surveys, Target of Opportunity, Sun, ...): (optional) *********************************************************************** Review Pierre Cox: It seems to me that these programmes could be merged in one programme since part of the information in 1.4.2 will be available in 1.4.1. What is the rationale behind the number of clusters? Time estimates are correct. Review Chris Carilli: similar to 1.4.1.
