We are pleased to announce the upcoming international workshop focusing on submillimeter-wave line intensity mapping (LIM) experiments. This workshop marks a significant milestone in advancing LIM research, particularly in light of the collaborative project funded by the Netherlands and Japan to develop the Terahertz Integral Field Unit with Universal Nanotechnology (TIFUUN) and conduct LIM observations at submillimeter wavelengths. These efforts aim to deepen our understanding of cosmic structures and galaxy evolution processes through unprecedented mapping capabilities.
The primary goals of this workshop are to:
Share the latest results, including lessons learned, from ongoing and planned LIM experiments across submillimeter and other wavelengths (e.g., optical Hα, radio HI), which will be useful for optimizing the specifications of TIFUUN.
Discuss theoretical forecasts and simulations, with an emphasis on developing efficient methodologies for foreground removal --a critical challenge for all LIM observations.
Explore opportunities for coordinated observations involving TIFUUN and other facilities.
We invite researchers from all areas of LIM and related fields to join us in discussing cutting-edge advancements, addressing current challenges, and fostering collaborations. The workshop will include invited talks by leading experts, contributed and poster presentations, and dedicated discussion sessions to encourage exchange of ideas and development of innovative approaches.
We look forward to your participation in shaping the future of LIM research and leveraging the synergies between theoretical, engineering, data-scientific, and observational efforts.
