Abstract

The workshop provided an overview of the wide range of results from the first two years of science operations with the ALMA Band 5 (163–211 GHz) receiver in the Swedish ESO PI Instrument for APEX (SEPIA) ahead of the ALMA Cycle 5 call for proposals, when the Band 5 receivers will be offered for the first time. The frequency range of the Band 5 receiver has never been fully covered by existing receivers; the talks presented at the workshop illustrate the importance of several lines in this frequency range that provide crucial diagnostics of the interstellar medium.
