We are developing a project to build a 30-m telescope
operating at wavelengths as short as 850 $\mu$m with
1 degree field of view for imaging and multi-object
spectroscopic surveys. With this project, we aim to:
trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies
from high redshift to the z $\sim 1-3$ epoch when
they dominate the cosmic star formation rate;
connect this population to the high-redshift
rest-frame UV/optical galaxy population; use
these dusty galaxies, the most biased overdensities,
to guide ultra-deep followup at $z > 3.5$ and
possibly $z > 7$; map the fragmentation structure
of molecular clouds, its connection to the stellar
initial mass function, and the episodic accretion
onto protostellar cores; determine how the rate and
efficiency of star formation in the Milky Way and
nearby galaxies depends on stellar mass, local
environment, and overall galaxy morphology;
characterize the evolution of galaxy clusters
via mergers, accretion, and energy injection
by correlating gas pressure, internal motions,
and temperature with other probes; and use galaxy
clusters to measure the universe’s peculiar
velocity field. We will describe the expected surveys
addressing these science goals, the novel telescope
design, and the planned survey instrumentation.
