SWGO
The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is a gamma-ray observatory to be constructed in South America.[1]
It will be designed to detect air shower particles initiated by gamma rays entering the Earth's atmosphere.
SWGO will be the fist high-altitude gamma-ray observatory to provide wide-field coverage of a large portion of the southern sky. It will complement current and future instruments, such as HAWC, LHAASO, and CTA .
SWGO will join the worldwide multi-messenger effort to unveil extreme astrophysical phenomena. Its main science topics are: the study of both galactic and extragalactic accelerators, such as supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts; testing of particle physics beyond the Standard Model, and the characterisation of the cosmic ray flux of particles.[2]
