Scientific paper

In order for the next UV missions to be both transformational and affordable, UV detector technology must achieve the high efficiency and low noise that is routine for the visible band. We describe our on-going Caltech/JPL effort and early successes at reaching this goal. We show that these detectors will make possible highly multiplexed, efficient, and scientifically compelling new investigations that directly address core scientific questions raised by the Astro2010 Decadal Survey. Finally, we discuss a possible strategy for the 2010's that will position a UV mission to be highly ranked in the next decadal survey.
