2 Outline Instrument Requirements Need to make compromising decisions that deliver science most efficiently Baseline Instruments – first light Short submm camera Near mm – wave camera Extragalactic Spectrometer Each needs this section is not to be include in July talk Motivation Implementation including: optical design, arrays, cooling,… Instrument Envelopes including: Mass, Volume, Power, and Peripherals Timelines for development Cost estimates Observing strategies Lab facilities Second light and future instrumentation

3 Instrument Requirements Primary science Survey of distant star forming galaxies Star and planetary system formation Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Exploration of the Kuiper Belt The first three require a submm camera, and near mm wave camera 5’ x 5’ FOV Operation in the 200, 350, 450, and 620 um bands At least Nyquist sampled at 350 um The last requires a near mm-wave camera operating at 850 um and 1.1 mm Requirements – Sunil The science of the survey is greatly improved by the addition of a submm spectrometer optimized for extragalactic line (searches?) Requirements – Matt

4 Submm Camera Decision Tree - FOV The telescope delivers a 20’ FOV – why are we designing to a 5’ FOV? The primary science can be delivered with 5’ FOV cameras The telescope delivers a 1.17 meter image for a 20’ FOV – this is quite challenging to couple into a background limited camera Current, and near future technology suggests 30,000 pixels is a reasonable goal for the array – this can deliver Nyquist sampled images over a 5’ x 5’ FOV at 350 um – to cover a 20’ FOV requires 500,000 pixels at 350 um…
5
5 Decision Tree: Dichroic Operation? Why not build a dichroic instrument that images in two bands, e.g. 350 and 850 um in a single cryostat Excellent spatial registration Enables SED science However: Sensitivities, and SEDs are not well matched: Sources are detected (n) times faster at 850 m, does it make sense to continue integrating at 850 while awaiting the 350 m data? (needs support from science group) The confusion limit is reached much faster at 850 m (need values from science group) Plate scales are different, so that dichroic operation may well require f/# changes within the cryostat
6
6 Decision Tree: Dichroic Operation? Technology: A SCUBA-2 – like array appears to be the best bet in the short submm, while (TBD, Sunil) is likely better at the longer wavelengths Fore-optics: excellent image quality and sensitivity is achieved in the short submm with a crystal quartz lens, but this system will increase background unacceptably at the longer wavelengths Costs: the arrays are the largest single capital item for an instrument (a 30,000 pixel array is likely to cost > 3 M$) – folded into the different array technologies, it makes sense to construct separate cryostats
7
7 Submm Photometer First light instrument FOV is 5’ x 5’ For Nyquist sampling at 350 m this requires a 170 170 pixel array 30,000 pixels, or 6 times that of SCUBA-2 (Question – doesn’t sound that aggressive….) Primary bands are 200, 350, 450 m and 620 m Driven by similar backgrounds and adequate sampling requirements Filter wheel to change wavelengths
8
8 Filter Wheel Operation Backgrounds: Nyquist pixels at 350 m Wavelength Power NEP 850 um: 4.2E-13 Watts 0.3E-16 W-Hz -1/2 620 um: 2.1E-12 Watts 0.8E-16 W-Hz -1/2 450 um: 4.6E-12 Watts 1.2E-16 W-Hz -1/2 350 um: 9.5E-12 Watts 1.9E-16 W-Hz -1/2 200 um: 2.1E-11 Watts 3.6E-16 W-Hz -1/2 One can use the same array for work between 620 and 350 m, but either 850, or 200 will need to be left out (or the plate scale changed) – decision to take out 850 um capabilities (due to sensitivity – background from lenses – issue)

9 Lens Reimager f/8 delivered at a Naysmith focus Investigated both mirror and lens designs Mirror design maximizes through-put Aberrations kept under control However… Mirror design requires 4 m class off-axis paraboloids Dewar likely 8 m 3 m in size For 5” FOV, the design is more modest 3 m class off-axis paraboloids Dewar could be more modest 3 m 1.5 m in size
10
10 Mirror Design Optical design – not included since the file is huge Could include both 20’ FOV and 5’ FOV designs…
11
11 Transmissive Optics System is much more compact The instrument is ~ 1 x 1.5 m in size, with a 30 cm dewar window However, selection of lens material is problematic – bulk absorption hurts you twice! A first light camera with a 5’ FOV (still 30,000 pixels!) is “easy”
12
12 Lens Parameters (to be shortened) Requirements Bring the entire FOV into the dewar window -- 20 cm Provide for a cold Lyot stop to minimize thermal backgrounds Deliver the proper plate scale – either 1 mm or 0.5 mm pixels For near Nyquist sampling 200 m f/4 (f*1.22 /2 = 0.5 mm) Focal length = 80 cm Deliver good image quality – diffraction limited Found that a variety of materials will work Selection criterion was essentially transmission Index of refraction radius of curvature – thickness of lens Extinction coefficient, or transmission per cm thickness Other important features Material properties – environmental (water), structural (window) Cost AR coatable?

14 Germanium Lens Design: 5’ FOV Instrument Envelope This would accommodate a 300 300 (90,000) pixel array The change in f/# means the second lens is smaller than the first – can use this as the dewar window 3.5 m Lens diameter ~ 35 cm Optical trace removed to limit file size

17 Array (Darren) Baseline is extension of SCUBA-2 array 4 x (32x40) pixel subarrays to make 5120 pixels – extend to 30,000? Is this feasible? 1 mm vs. 0.5 mm pitch Detector NEP Costs and delivery Alternatives

18 Photometer Budget – displayed as an example – other instruments just will have summary budgets Total budget > 9.7 M$ Dominant items in the budget are salaries (6.7 M$), and the as yet undetermined price of the arrays (3 to ? M$) 5000 element SCUBA-2 array can be delivered for 1.4 M$ (or so) Must have dramatic economies of scale (or new technology) to reach 1 million pixels (280 M$), or even 90,000 pixels (25 M$)

24 Strawman Spectrometers: Long-Slit Echelle Strawman -- 128 pixels in spectral dimension -- e.g. 0.86 mm pixels -- f/2.5 spectrometer, slightly oversampled Collimator must be oversized by 12 cm to accommodate angles off the grating! --> 30 cm diameter collimator --> grating 30 cm by 40 cm, to accommodate spatial throughput --> Grating and collimator approach of 1 meter in all dimensions -- Large but doable. 30 cm 40 cm 35 cm 816 micron pitch grating Layout from ZEUS -- Cornell -- Stacey et al.
25
25 8 x 20 cm = 160 cm collimator focus Full field at f/8 -> 20 cm window Collimated beam + overheads: 25 cm dia (and etalon must be near pupil) Etalon spacing: few cm Faster final focal ratio (2-3) to accommodate large array Array up to 10 cm F-P field is limited by beam divergence at the longest wavelengths: R max ~D c 2 / lqD p For a 20 cm collimated beam and a 3.5 arcmin field (20 cm window and 128 2 at 450 mm), this means: R max =1850 at 450 um R max =990 at 850 um CCAT strawman F-P cryostat is 2 meters in longest dimension -- Large but doable.

27 Cryocoolers – Thomas We are base-lining closed cycle refrigerators for all CCAT instrumentation Sterling and Gifford-McMahon cycle coolers have moving parts on the cold head so that there are issues with vibrations Pulse-tube coolers have no moving parts, so that these issues are minimized The bolometers must operate with very stable base temperatures The end stage coolers will be closed cycle 3 He systems or ADRs that provide both temperature stability, and are vibration free The temperature isolation system should shield the cold head against the 4.2 K temperature fluctuations and residual vibrations. The TES bolometers are less susceptible to microphonics than thermister sensed bolometers since they are low impedance devices
28
28 Cryocoolers Pulse tube coolers cool down instrument to 4.2 K Closed cycle 4 He system cools detector package to 2 K Closed cycle 3 He system cools detector package to 250 to 300m K For the baseline photometer, the sensitivity is achievable with a head temperature of 225 mK We get NEPs ~ 10 -16 W/Hz with Zeus at 250 mK If necessary, ADR can cool system further (60 mK)
29
29 Pulse Tube Cooler Requires first stage temperature near 55 K, where it can dump 25 W (typically, radiation will add another 20 W to the budget) Intermediate T coolers deliver 1 W cooling per 30 watts input power (require 1.2 K W for this cooler) The pulse tube then can provide 0.7 W of cooling power at 4.2 K Size of pulse tube cooler is compatible with the cryostats we envision Figure of cooler removed to minimize file size

31 Photometer Cooler Summary Pulse tube cooler from Cryomech Cooling power of 0.7 W at 4.2 K Power consumption ~ 7 KW Price ~ 34 to 38 K$ including compressor (water or air cooled) Low T cooler Cooling power 75 W at 250 mK Power consumption negligible Price ~ 50 K$ for He-10 system
