Abstract We use weak-lensing shear measurements to determine the mean mass of optically selected galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. In a blinded analysis, we split the sample of more than 8000 redMaPPer clusters into 15 subsets, spanning ranges in the richness parameter 5 ≤ λ ≤ 180 and redshift 0.2 ≤ z ≤ 0.8, and fit the averaged mass density contrast profiles with a model that accounts for seven distinct sources of systematic uncertainty: shear measurement and photometric redshift errors; cluster-member contamination; miscentring; deviations from the NFW halo profile; halo triaxiality and line-of-sight projections. We combine the inferred cluster masses to estimate the joint scaling relation between mass, richness and redshift, ${\cal M}(\lambda ,z) \propto M_0 \lambda ^{F} (1+z)^{G}$ . We find $M_0 \equiv \langle M_{200\mathrm{m}}\,|\,\lambda =30,z=0.5 \rangle = 2.35 \pm 0.22\ \rm {(stat)} \pm 0.12\ \rm {(sys)} \times \ 10^{14}\ \mathrm{M}_{{\odot }}$ , with $F = 1.12\,\pm \,0.20\ \rm {(stat)}\, \pm \, 0.06\ \rm {(sys)}$ and $G = 0.18\,\pm \, 0.75\ \rm {(stat)}\, \pm \, 0.24\ \rm {(sys)}$ . The amplitude of the mass–richness relation is in excellent agreement with the weak-lensing calibration of redMaPPer clusters in SDSS by Simet et al. and with the Saro et al. calibration based on abundance matching of SPT-detected clusters. Our results extend the redshift range over which the mass–richness relation of redMaPPer clusters has been calibrated with weak lensing from z ≤ 0.3 to z ≤ 0.8. Calibration uncertainties of shear measurements and photometric redshift estimates dominate our systematic error budget and require substantial improvements for forthcoming studies.
