The adopted algorithm and the criterium for selecting the member galaxies are illustrated. Here we report the preliminary results obtained over a small area (7 deg<SUP>2</SUP>), and the comparison of our cluster candidates with those found in the RedMapper and SZ Planck catalogues; the analysis to a larger area (148 deg<SUP>2</SUP>) is currently in progress. By the KiDS cluster search, we expect to increase the completeness of the clusters catalogue to z = 0.6-0.7 compared to RedMapper.STAMPAenConference paper10.1007/978-3-319-19330-4_302-s2.0-84979031659000389802600031https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-19330-4_30https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.00743.pdf2016ASSP...42..189RFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
