ALMA beyond ALMA
ALMA will allow transformational science thanks to the

sensitivity, angular resolution, spectral coverage and image fidelity, but...
The baseline ALMA project will only achieve a fraction of the full

potential of the site and instrument
Incomplete Receiver Complement Limited Wide Field Capabilities Limited Correlator and Data Rate Capabilities No VLBI capabilities Other potential areas of development: Extended Baselines

(30-50km), Advanced Calibration, Software, Science Tools....

ALMA Development Plan Studies!
The ALMA Development Plan, Sydney, 6 Feb 2012


Example: ESO Process
Following the definition of the overall scientific priorities for

ALMA Development (by ASAC and ad hoc WG), we developed a process to identify European priorities and assess readiness of possible upgrades in Europe
The process involves
ь Open call for Studies ь Scientific/Technical evaluation of Studies to support ь Studies to deliver complete Science Cases and assess readiness of upgrades for implementation (range of possibilities: conceptual design, supporting R&D, detailed design, production and implementation plan) ь Studies duration 1-2 yrs

The process follows the scheme used for some of the VLT

and E-ELT instrument projects. Endorsed by STC/ESAC.

Call Details
Broad Scope:
ь Advance detailed planning on existing projects (e.g. B5) ь Develop detailed plans on a range of projects (e.g. new B, VLBI) ь Identify and support projects that require long R&D, new ideas

Goals
ь Develop European priorities for ALMA Development Plan ь Ensure that R&D, Design, Science/Tech Cases of upgrades are developed to the level to compete for ALMA Development Plan funding

The output of the studies will be detailed science

requirements, design, cost and timeline for ALMA upgrades
ь These studies will be combined with plans advancing in NA and EA to produce a coherent ALMA Development Plan for ALMA

Timeline:
ь Call in July 2010, info meeting on July 19 at ESO, deadline Sept 15 ь Proposal evaluation in second half of 2010 ь Studies lifecycle: 2011-2013
