With the decommissioning of the Arecibo Telescope and subsequent collapse on Dec. 1, 2020, the ALPACA project (NSF MSIP Award 1636645) lost its intended host platform. Without a change in approach to find another observatory and suitable telescope, this half-completed project would not have a future. BYU and Cornell University propose to pursue installing the ALPACA PAF on the Green Bank Telescope. This document presents a science justification for doing so.
