  1. PAUCammosaic 150 Mpixel • Scientific goal: • Study the physics of the accelerating universe • Method: precision photo-z (48 narrow band filters) • Camera: • 18 CCDs (Hamamatsu Photonics, HPK), 2kx4k • high quantum efficiency in near infrared • there is not a filter wheel • filters are automatically positioned above CCDs by means of • 14 mobile segmented filter trays operating in vacuum • cryostat made of carbon fiber • William Herschel Telescope (La Palma) in 2014 • also offered to the astronomical community as a facility Juan De Vicente, CIEMAT (Madrid), Spain
