| contents | The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will provide a ground-breaking data set for cosmology, but to achieve the precision needed, the data, data reduction, and algorithms measuring the cosmological data vectors must be thoroughly validated and calibrated. In this note, we focus on clusters of galaxies and present a set of validation tests for optical cluster finding algorithms through comparison to X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect cluster catalogs. As an example, we apply our pipeline to compare the performance of the redMaPPer (red-sequence Matched filter Probabilistic Percolation) and WaZP (Wavelet Z Photometric) cluster finding algorithms on Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. |
