Scientific paper

Over preceding conferences, the design and implementation of the SCUBA-2 (Sub-millimeter Common-User Bolometric Array 2) instrument hardware has been described in detail. SCUBA-2 has been installed on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) for over two years and its hardware has been successfully commissioned. This paper describes the culmination of this process and compares the optical/mechanical design and test expectations of the instrument hardware against the performance achieved in the field.
