| + | |||
| + | Big news -- our new science white paper is out, marking a major milestone as we wrap up the development phase and move toward construction in Chile. The paper outlines the baseline design and scientific goals of SWGO and its initial phase, SWGO-A, highlighting its potential to revolutionise our understanding of cosmic-ray physics, dark matter, and multi-messenger astronomy. Positioned near the CTA Observatory, SWGO will play a vital role in the next decade of high-energy astrophysics. | ||

| + | ===== May 2025: 12th Collaboration Meeting ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | From May 5th to 9th, members of the SWGO Collaboration gathered in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, for a milestone meeting — the first held in the host country since the site was finalised last summer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ ::wiki:swgo-cm2025may.png | Members in San Pedro de Atacama 2025}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | The meeting focused on key technical discussions and operational planning, with members actively shaping the roadmap towards near-term milestones. In addition to the scientific and logistical sessions, Collaboration members also engaged with key external stakeholders, including representatives from local communities, government bodies, and the education sector — such as students and teachers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Topics discussed ranged from tank production options, infrastructure needs, and funding strategies to the role of the local workforce and educational opportunities. The agenda also included visits to regional astrophysics facilities, including the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), fostering further exchange and collaboration. | ||
