                                    The Corona Borealis supercluster has been observed with the millimeter
and infrared testa grigia observatory (MITO). Here we present the
results of the observations together with a comparison with observations
performed at 33 GHz with the very small array (VSA) interferometer. We
have observed in the direction of the supercluster toward a cosmic
microwave background (CMB) cold spot previously detected in a VSA
temperature map. We claim a weak detection of a faint signal compatible
with a SZ effect characterized at most by a comptonization parameter
y=(7.8-4.4+5.3)×10 68% CL. The low level of confidence
in the presence of a SZ signal invites us to study this sky region with
higher sensitivity and angular resolution experiments such as already
planned upgraded versions of VSA and MITO. This is the first millimetric
evidence of unknown cluster/diffuse intra-supercluster gas (possibly
warm hot intergalactic medium (WHIM)) interacting, via inverse Compton,
scattering with the CMB.
