Scientific paper

The Japanese Large Millimeter and Submillimeter Array (LMSA) and the US/Europe Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) are planned to be constructed at a very high and dry site in the northern Chile and to be operated at the frequency range of 80 to 900 GHz from around the year of 2008. LMSA (or ALMA) will provide 0.01 arcsecond resolution and a very high sensitivity comparable to a 70 m single dish. Their main targets include planetary system formation and galaxy formation/evolution. Big advances in other researches (e.g., cosmology) are also expected. The technical challenges to key instruments for such arrays are now being tackled. The international collaboration toward a so-called ``enhanced ALMA'' (an unified array of LMSA and ALMA) is under discussion.
