Using the expanded frequency
coverage of the EVLA, this group proposes an astrochemical
study of a high redshift galaxy. Apart from a handful of
simple molecules, very little is known about the molecular
environment at high redshift. This project will trace all
molecular species with rest frequencies in the 34 to 93 GHz
range and provide an unprecedented view of the molecular
environment at high redshift. Beyond the significant
astrochemical and cosmological interest, this study would be
a unique demonstration of the new continuous spectral
coverage and high spectral resolution of the EVLA.
