Science Verification: Process The process by which ALMA demonstrates that it is capable of producing data of the required quality fully demonstrates all observing modes expected to be available during Early Science Part of Extension and Optimization of Capabilities (EOC) - formerly CSV Targets are announced on the ALMA Science Portal prior to observation, and an up-to-date list is maintained Where possible verify results against those already obtained with other telescopes Verification against existing observations becomes more difficult as capabilities enter new parameter space. We have moved more to the demonstration of new capabilities instead of verification. 3
