Abstract
We will report on the APEX-SZ bolometer camera which houses a 320 element Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer array designed to survey for galaxy clusters using the 12-meter diameter APEX telescope sited in Chile. Design and fabrication of the TES bolometer array will be discussed, as well as its integration with a frequency-domain SQUID multiplexed readout system. The full configuration of the APEX-SZ camera was deployed in April 2007. A preliminary galaxy cluster map from this deployment will be presented.
