Abstract

SCUBA-2/POL-2 has been the most productive instrument at JCMT since it’s fully commissioned in 2011 September, and it’s constantly oversubscribed during the call-for-proposals by a factor of 3 to 5. The proposed new 850μm instrument will feature 7272 state-of-the-art Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) operated below 100 mK, fully utilizing the JCMT’s 12 arcmin Field of View (FoV), thus have all the capabilities of SCUBA-2 at 850 μm, yet will map an order of magnitude faster. The new instrument will be incorporated with intrinsic polarization measurement capability which is 3636 pixels. Mapping the 850 μm polarization will be improved by a factor of at least 20.
