A 10 meter diameter submillimeter-wave telescope has been proposed for theNSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Current evidence indicates that theSouth Pole is the best submillimeter-wave telescope site among all existing orproposed ground-based observatories. Proposed scientific programs placestringent requirements on the optical quality of the telescope design. Inparticular, reduction of the thermal background and offsets requires anoff-axis, unblocked aperture, and the large field of view needed for surveyobservations requires shaped optics. This mix of design elements is well-suitedfor large scale (square degree) mapping of line and continuum radiation fromsubmillimeter-wave sources at moderate spatial resolutions (4 to 60 arcsecondbeam size) and high sensitivity (milliJansky flux density levels). thetelescope will make arcminute angular scale, high frequency Cosmic MicrowaveBackground measurements from the best possible ground-based site, using anaperture which is larger than is currently possible on orbital or airborneplatforms. Effective use of this telescope will require development of large(1000 element) arrays of submillimeter detectors which are background-limitedwhen illuminated by antenna temperatures near 50 K.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
