  We present 1.05 mm ALMA observations of the deeply embedded high-mass
protocluster G11.92-0.61, designed to search for low-mass cores within the
accretion reservoir of the massive protostars. Our ALMA mosaic, which covers an
extent of ~0.7 pc at sub-arcsecond (~1400 au) resolution, reveals a rich
population of 16 new millimetre continuum sources surrounding the three
previously-known millimetre cores. Most of the new sources are located in the
outer reaches of the accretion reservoir: the median projected separation from
the central, massive (proto)star MM1 is ~0.17 pc. The derived physical
properties of the new millimetre continuum sources are consistent with those of
low-mass prestellar and protostellar cores in nearby star-forming regions: the
median mass, radius, and density of the new sources are 1.3 Msun, 1600 au, and
n(H2)~10^7 cm^-3. At least three of the low-mass cores in G11.92-0.61 drive
molecular outflows, traced by high-velocity 12CO(3-2) (observed with the SMA)
and/or by H2CO and CH3OH emission (observed with ALMA). This finding, combined
with the known outflow/accretion activity of MM1, indicates that high- and
low-mass stars are forming (accreting) simultaneously within this protocluster.
Our ALMA results are consistent with the predictions of
competitive-accretion-type models in which high-mass stars form along with
their surrounding clusters.
