+ | SWGO members and guests made a trip to the project site in **Pampa La Bola**, Chile, during the 12th collaboration meeting in San Pedro de Atacama, the town closest to it. Located in the Antofagasta region at an altitude of 4,770 meters and inside the Atacama Astronomical Park, it is close to other astronomical observatories and facilities, including the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). | ||

Working-group coordinator for SWGO's analysis and simulations, Harm Schoorlemmer, from Nikhef, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics, was recently awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant (3 million euros) for his research proposal titled 'Air shower interferometry to advance astroparticle physics’. He developed a new technique that applies interferometry on the radio emission from air showers, thereby combining two detection techniques -- radio antennas and high-altitude water Cherenkov detectors. This would greatly improve the reconstruction accuracy of air shower properties and allow for better determination of the features of cosmic particles, and has the potential to be implemented into the SWGO array. | Working-group coordinator for SWGO's analysis and simulations, Harm Schoorlemmer, from Nikhef, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics, was recently awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant (3 million euros) for his research proposal titled 'Air shower interferometry to advance astroparticle physics’.

After the site selection in Pampa La Bola, Chile, the collaboration has gained a whole new momentum! It will be neighbours with the southern array of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), complementary to and synergetic with its scientific aims in exploring the sky in gamma rays. | After the site selection in Pampa La Bola, Chile, the collaboration has gained a whole new momentum!
