See ApJ 512, 547 Feb 20.

The Array Formerly Known as the MMA  (AFKAM?  Thanks, Jack!) should be
able to see  CI and CII if these guys are right.  At z=9 they get

Line     Intensity
CI 609  0.008 K km/s
CI 370  0.02 K km/s
CII 158 0.07 K km/s
OI 146  0.2  K km/s
NII 204 0.01 K km/s
NII 122 0.06 K km/s

I think that at 1.1mm the AFKAM might reach a sensitivity of 0.006 K km/s
in eight hours, so would 'detect' all of these at some level.

Clear skies,
Al
