- | ====== NEWS ====== | + | 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. |

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). | 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.
