Effects of Preheated Clusters on the CMB Spectrum
  Mounting evidence from $x$-ray observations reveals that bound objects should receive some form of energy in the past injected from non-gravitaional sources. We report that an instantaneous heating scheme, for which gases in dense regions were subjected to a temperature jump of 1keV at $z=2$ whereas those in rarified regions remained intact, can produce bound objects obeying the observed mass-temperature and luminosity-temperature relations. Such preheating lowers the peak Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) power by a factor of 2 and exacerbates the need for the normalization of matter fluctuations $\sigma_8$ to assume an extreme high value $(\sim 1.1)$ for the SZ signals to account for the excess anisotropy on 5-arcminute scale detected by the Cosmic Background Imager in the cosmic microwave background radiation.
