====== Collaboration ====== ~~NOTOC~~ 80 research institutions from fourteen countries have signed the agreement for the international R&D collaboration for a future wide field-of-view gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. The aim of the collaboration is to develop, over the next three years, a detailed proposal for the implementation of such an observatory, including site selection and technology choices. The partner countries of the Southern Wide field-of-view Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, South Korea, United Kingdom, United States, creating a worldwide community around the project. In addition, there are supporting scientists from 10 additional countries. {{:wiki:countries_swgo_2022_Sep.png |countries involved in SWGO}} ---- ===== Spokespersons ===== Spokesperson: [[jim.hinton@mpi-hd.mpg.de|Jim Hinton]] Vice-spokespersons: [[petra@mtu.edu|Petra Huentemeyer]], [[ulisses@cbpf.br|Ulisses Barres]] ===== Working Group Coordinators ===== The current coordinators are: * **Science**: Gwenael Giacinti [[Gwenael.Giacinti@mpi-hd.mpg.de| email ]] & Francesco Longo [[francesco.longo@ts.infn.it| email ]] * **Detector**: Fausto Guarino [[guarino@na.infn.it | email]], Lukas Nellen [[lukas@nucleares.unam.mx | email]] & Wayne Springer [[u0028793@umail.utah.edu | email]] * **Analysis & Simulations**: Ruben Conceição [[ruben@lip.pt|email]], Harm Schoorlemmer [[harmscho@mpi-hd.mpg.de|email]] & Andrew Smith [[asmith8@umd.edu|email]] * **Outreach & Communications**: Ana Pichel [[ana.pichel@gmail.com|email]], Osvaldo Aquines [[osvaldo.aquines@udem.edu|email]] & Arshia Ruina [[arshia.ruina@pd.infn.it|email]] * **Site**: Dusan Mandat [[mandat@fzu.cz |email]] & Marcos Santander [[jmsantander@ua.edu |email]] ===== Steering Committee ===== Countries in which institutes have signed the "Statement of Interest" in SWGO are asked to appoint a national representative to sit on the SWGO Steering Committee.
