This program will investigate a new technique to explore the ?Hidden Universe? of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. This will be accomplished via determination of the amplitude of matter fluctuations in the universe through measurements of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (the scattering of Cosmic Microwave Background photons off hot gas in galaxy clusters) and gravitational lensing. The proposed technique will be applied to real data from the Atacama Cosmology Experiment, the Planck experiment and the Subaru telescope.Broader impacts of the work include training of undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, Dr. Spergel has participated in several TV programs on cosmology per year and will continue to do so. He will also continue his program of speaking to elementary school students on measurement and cosmology.

该程序将研究一种新技术来探索隐藏的宇宙？暗物质和暗能量。 这将通过测量热的Sunyaev-Zeldovich效应（宇宙微波背景光子在星系簇中的热气体中的散射）和引力透镜来确定宇宙中物质波动的幅度。该技术将应用于Atacama宇宙学实验，Planck实验和Subaru望远镜的真实数据。这项工作的影响包括对本科生和研究生的培训。此外，Spergel博士每年还参加了几项有关宇宙学的电视节目，并将继续这样做。他还将继续与小学生有关测量和宇宙学的计划。
