21CMA 21 Centimeter Array a.k.a. PAST

Reionization 21cm: hyperfine transition of neutral Hydrogen

21CMA a.k.a. PAST Basic ideas: an experiment, not an observatory use cheap, off-the -shelf technology (i.e. TV+PC) simple design (looking at NCP) choose site with minimal EM interference to become operational before MWA/LOFAR Xiang-Ping Wu (NAOC) Ue-Li Pen (CITA) Jeff Peterson (Carnegie)

Basic Design of 21CMRA At z=9, 10 comoving Mpc  ~ 0.6 MHz,  ~ 3.6 arcmin frequency range MHz (6.1<z<19.3) baseline: 2 km, (at 140 MHz, 3.6 arcmin) Collecting Area 10 4 m 2 A/L 2 ~ 0.01

Schedule & Status summer 2003 Ue-Li, Jeff, Xiang-Ping discussed the idea autumn 2003 site search began, Ulastai chosen March antennae prototype, first image August 2004 array design finished January 2005 batch I (first 20 pods) constructed summer 2005 batch II (60 pods) construction, data collecting electronics installation January 2006 fully operational Total cost estimate: M yuan, now borrowing from other groups in NAOC, will apply a grant, please support!
