Scientific paper

A consortium which includes Cornell University, the California Institute of Technology and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of Colorado, the Universities of British Columbia and Waterloo of Canada and the United Kingdom Astronomy Technology Centre plans to build a 25-meter submillimeter telescope atop Cerro Chajnantor at 5600 m elevation in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile. The telescope will operate at wavelengths as short as 200 micron. Among the main goals of the initiative are those of carrying out large scale imaging and spectroscopic surveys of high redshift galaxies, regions of star and planetary system formation, CMB and SZE applications. Riding the fast-moving technology wave of large format detector arrays, it is designed for maximal complementarity with ALMA. First light is projected for 2013.
