SUMMARY:Submillimetre Astronomy with Single Dish Telescopes: SCUBA-2 and b
 eyond - Wayne Holland (UK ATC)

DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present an update on SCUBA-2\, a 10000 pix
 el submillimetre imaging camera for the James Clerk Maxwell telescope. SCU
 BA-2 has been one of the most challenging projects ever undertaken by UK a
 stronomy in that completely new technologies have been needed to realise t
 he ambitious science goals. I will describe some of the critical technolog
 ies that have made SCUBA-2 a reality. Hopefully\, by the time of this talk
  SCUBA-2 will have arrived safely in Hilo\, Hawaii! Once it has been commi
 ssioned SCUBA-2 will play a key part in the JCMT Legacy Survey programme\,
  which is currently just starting on the telescope. Single dish telescopes
  will still have a vital role to play in the era of the new generation int
 erferometers\, such as ALMA. The Cornell-Caltech Atacama Telescope (CCAT) 
 is a 25m telescope to be located at 5600m near to the ALMA site. CCAT will
  work at the shorter submm wavelengths closer to the peak of the far-infra
 red background and the emission from cold\, unevolved cloud cores. The cha
 llenges of CCAT and the megapixel camera that is being envisaged will be p
 resented.
