The 3 rd workshop on Large Mm/Submm Telescopes in the ALMA Era March 10, 09:00 – 18:10 March 11, 09:00 – 17:40 COSMOS Lodge Conference Room
Background of the workshop ALMA, the most powerful mm/submm facility with high angular resolution imaging capability coupled with unprecedentedly high sensitivity, has been producing a growing number of impressive and compelling results. It is also evident that many outstanding ALMA results often rely on wide area surveys using existing ground- based and space telescopes such as Nobeyama, Nanten, IRAM, JCMT, CSO, Mopra, SPT, ASTE, APEX, Herschel, and so on, emphasizing the importance of next generation large mm/submm survey telescopes, which will have large FoV (> 0.5 deg) and large instantaneous frequency coverage with large format bolometer/heterodyne arrays, to exploit ALMA capabilities.

Goals of the workshop (1) to explore the astrophysical potential of such next generation large single dish telescopes at mm/submm wavelengths, (2) to share current status and running and planned mm/submm telescopes such as NRO 45m, LMT, GLT, CCAT, SST, and LST, (3) to discuss about state-of-the-art technologies of detectors/receivers/telescopes, which shall be essential for the next generation mm/submm telescopes, and (4) to discuss about the synergies with related survey missions at other wavelengths such as Subaru, TAO, SPICA, WISH, and SKA.
So many large single dish projects ! Showing the richness of science cases, and..? How can we widen and sharpen the science cases ? How can we make our projects more competitive ?

For Orphan GRB afterglow survey ??? After 25 epochs, sensitivity reaches 2.6 mJy (5σ) 2.4×10 5 sources For confusion- limited deep and wide surveys 1.9×10 6 sources - some survey plans using LST -
