SUMMARY:The South Pole Telescope: Beyond Clusters\, NPAC (Nuclear/Part
 icle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Tom Crawford\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) is currently opera
 ting at the National Science Foundation South Pole research station.  
 The first-generation receiver on the SPT is a 960-element array of bol
 ometers operating near the background limit to their sensitivity.  The
  first key project\, currently underway\, is a survey of &lt\;1000 squ
 are degrees for galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (S
 ZE)\, which will have sufficient statistical weight to place significa
 nt constraints on the equation of state of the dark energy.  But the s
 cience yield of this survey will not be limited to the cluster catalog
 :  This SPT dataset will provide precise measurements of the small-sca
 le angular power spectra of primary cosmic microwave background (CMB) 
 anisotropies\, the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE)\, and the k
 inetic SZE / Ostriker-Vishniac effect\; measurements of lensing of the
  CMB by clusters and large-scale structure\; and catalogs of high-reds
 hift starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei with depth and sky 
 coverage unprecedented at millimeter wavelengths.
