Summary
I propose for funding to construct a spectrometer to map in 3-D the intensity due to line emission, a
technique known as Intensity Mapping. Instead of detecting individual galaxies, this emerging technique
measures signal fluctuations produced by the combined emission of the galaxy population on large regions
of the sky in a wide frequency (i.e. redshift) band, and thus increases sensitivity to faint sources.
Capitalizing on a recent technology breakthrough, our intensity mapping experiment will measure the 3-D
fluctuations of the [CII] line at redshifts 4.5
