The results presented here are targeted to the multipole range 2000 < ℓ < 3000 using data from QUaD's second and third observing seasons. After masking the brightest point sources in the maps the results are consistent with the primary ΛCDM expectation alone. I further estimate the contribution of residual (un-masked) radio point sources using a model calibrated to our own bright source observations, and a full simulation of the source finding and masking procedure. Including this contribution slightly improves the chi2. I then fit a standard SZ template to the bandpowers and see no strong evidence of an SZ contribution, which is as expected for sigma8 ≈ 0.8; the best-fit value for the template amplitude is ASZ = 1.2+1.2-1.1 ., , , Modern Book, Gift, , , Adler staff dissertation/thesis (Educator, 2009-2013), , , 2012.040, , , Cosmology., Cosmic background radiation., , , 0, 0, University of Chicago., 2, , , , http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&res_dat=xri:pqdiss&rft_dat=xri:pqdiss:3369328, HELD BY AP$ - 0 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , n, t, m, K, aZ0bAP$, DATE_RECEIVED, 2012-2-1, QB1000 .Fri 2009
