We have conducted 1.1 mm ALMA observations of a contiguous 105′′×50′′ or 1.5 arcmin2 window in the SXDF-UDS-CANDELS. We achieved a 5σ sensitivity of 0.28 mJy, providing a flat sensus of dusty star-forming galaxies with LIR∼6×1011L⊙ (for Tdust =40K) up to z∼10 thanks to the negative K-correction at this wavelength. We detected 5 brightest sources (S/N>6) and 18 low-significance sources (5>S/N>4; these may contain spurious detections, though). One of the 5 brightest ALMA sources (S1.1mm=0.84±0.09 mJy) is extremely faint in the WFC3 and VLT/HAWK-I images, demonstrating that a contiguous ALMA imaging survey is able to uncover a faint dust-obscured population that is invisible in deep optical/near-infrared surveys. We found a possible [CII]-line emitter at z=5.955 or a low-z CO emitting galaxy within the field, which may allow us to constrain the [CII] and/or the CO luminosity functions across the history of the universe.
