[asac]draft statement on correlator enhancement

[Christine Wilson]

Hi, everyone,

Here's a draft statement on the correlator enhancement proposed in memo 
441. Please send me any comments/corrections by the end of the day tomorrow.

Thanks,
Chris

The ASAC has read with interest the proposal in ALMA Memo 441 by Escoffier
and Webber to enhance the performance of the baseline ALMA correlator. The
relatively small number of spectral channels available in the wide
bandwidth modes is a major scientific limitation of the baseline
correlator that would be remedied if this enhancement could be carried
out. Therefore, the ASAC encourages the ALMA project to see if this
enhancement to the correlator can be implemented within the baseline ALMA
project.
