CCAT-prime Collaboration: Science Goals and Forecasts with Prime-Cam on
  the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope
  We present a detailed overview of the science goals and predictions for the
Prime-Cam receiver being constructed by the CCAT-prime collaboration for
dedicated use on the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST). The FYST is a
wide-field, 6-m aperture submillimeter telescope being built (first light in
late 2023) by an international consortium of institutions led by Cornell
University and sited at more than 5600 meters on Cerro Chajnantor in northern
Chile. The Prime-Cam receiver is one of two instruments planned for FYST and
will provide unprecedented spectroscopic and broadband measurement capabilities
to address important astrophysical questions ranging from Big Bang cosmology
through reionization and the formation of the first galaxies to star formation
within our own Milky Way galaxy. Prime-Cam on the FYST will have a mapping
speed that is over ten times greater than existing and near-term facilities for
high-redshift science and broadband polarimetric imaging at frequencies above
300 GHz. We describe details of the science program enabled by this system and
our preliminary survey strategies.
