Abstract

The expected sensitivity of cluster SZ number counts to neutrino mass in the sub-eV range is assessed. We find that from the ongoing Planck/SZ measurements the (total) neutrino mass can be determined at a (1σ) precision of 0.06 eV, if the mass is in the range 0.1 − 0.3 eV, and the survey detection limit is set at the 5σ significance level. The mass uncertainty is predicted to be lower by a factor ∼ 2/3, if a similar survey is conducted by a cosmic-variance-limited experiment, a level comparable to that projected if CMB lensing extraction is accomplished with the same experiment. At present, the main uncertainty in modeling cluster statistical measures reflects the difficulty in determining the mass function at the high-mass end.
