Marcella Massardi (INAF - IRA Bologna), "The ALMA Wideband Sensitivity Upgrades: status, challenges and perspectives."
ALMA is undergoing the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade (WSU), that will result in an increase of the instantaneous spectral bandwidth, spectral scan speed, and sensitivity for all observations. However, this will also brings some technical and data management challenges. I will present the major steps of the upgrade and an overview of the science that will be enabled in the upcoming years, during which some changes on scientific operations are expected due to the extent of the upgrade, deployment, and commissioning activities.
