24 Next possible target of ALMA development 2 Don t forget difference of bandwidth raqo to the observed frequency Instantaneous bandwidth: - SKA: Band centre ± 50% (eg., GHz) (z<2.8 (1.4GHz)) - ALMA: Band centre ± 16% (case of Band3) (z<1.36 (115GHz)) SKA will have twice larger redshi^ coverage than the current ALMA 2013/07/ EA ALMA Development Workshop 24

25 Summary In SKA project will start a science operaqon, big changes will come in ISM study, such as (1) cosmic web, (2) magneqc field, (3) SF in low density and low metallicity environment, and (4) HI- H 2 transiqon. ALMA would need comparable survey speed with SKA Possible targets of future development for ALMA are (1) beam array, and/or (2) twice larger bandwidth. 2013/07/ EA ALMA Development Workshop 25
