Self-calibration of cluster dark energy studies: Observable-mass distribution

Self-calibration of cluster dark energy studies: Observable-mass distribution

The exponential sensitivity of cluster number counts to the properties of the dark energy implies a comparable sensitivity to not only the mean but also the actual distribution of an observable-mass proxy given the true cluster mass. For example a 25% scatter in mass can provide a $\ensuremath{\sim}50%$ change in …
