SUMMARY:Upgrading VIMOS 
DESCRIPTION:Upgrading VIMOS \nDr. Peter Hammserley\n\nVIMOS is visible mult
 i-object spectrometer operating on the VLT.  The high multiplex of th
 e VLT visible imager and  multi object/integral-field spectrometer, VIMOS,
  makes it a powerful  instrument for large-scale spectroscopic surveys of 
 faint sources. Following community input and recommendations by ESO's Scie
 nce and  Technology Committee, it was decided to upgrade the instrument in
   phases. The first phase of the upgrade is described and included  changi
 ng the shutters, installing an active flexure compensation system,  replac
 ing the detectors with CCDs with a far better red sensitivity and  less fr
 inging, and improving the data reduction pipeline.
