2. Cosmology Legacy Survey Why are extra-galactic sub-mm surveys interesting? Most star-formation activity at high z appears dust-enshrouded Key and challenging test for current galaxy-formation models Crucial for understanding link between star and black-hole formation

5. SCUBA-2 is a new CCD-style imager for the JCMT 50 sq arcmin FOV ~ 10 x SCUBA FOV Cosmology Legacy Survey Fully sampled imaging New TES detectors

6. SCUBA survey heritage Cosmology Legacy Survey HDF 8mJy SHADES

7. SCUBA2 Survey Strategy Cosmology Legacy Survey In the sub-mm, the standard survey “wedding cake” has been a bit squashed due to: Large (15 arcsec) beam size of the JCMT at 850 microns High background Effect of negative k-corrections Limited sensitivity and FOV of SCUBA SCUBA2 (on the JCMT) only changes the last of these

9. Wide 850 survey – “Super SHADES” 20 sq degrees,   = 0.7 mJy ~10,000 sources with S/N > 10 ~Schmidt plate in area, to the depth of the SCUBA HDF image Accurate measurements of clustering and redshift distribution – placing luminous starbursts within  CDM Observing proto Coma clusters The bright source counts – extreme objects Bulge and black-hole formation Intermediate and low-redshift sources The SZ effect

10. Deep 450 micron survey 0.6 sq degree,   = 0.5 mJy, ~10000 sources Bolometric output of the 850 micron population Determining the source populations dominating the 450 micron background Exploiting high-resolution to beat down the confusion limit Exploiting high resolution to better identify the 850 micron sources + connect with Herschel and Spitzer data etc Resolving sub-mm sources – starbursts versus AGN etc
