+==== May 2024: Major Milestone Completed ====
+{{wiki:panorama_congreso_astro_f1.jpg?direct&800 |The SWGO collaboration meeting in Mexico City}} \\
+For the R&D phase of SWGO we defined nine milestones. Today, 3rd May 2024, we ticked Milestone 6, having agreed on a design consolidation: greatly reducing the phase space for the final optimisation of the SWGO design. SWGO will be composed of an inner array with a fill-factor of >40% and excellent low energy performance, but also an outer array with lower fill factor but an area of 0.5-2.0 square kilometres, providing a science reach in to the PeV domain. The inner array will be based on dual-layer water Cherenkov detectors with diameter between 3.8 and 5.5 metres. Multiple options are still being explored for the outer array.
+This is a big step for the collaboration, based on a huge simulation and analysis effort as well as detector design development and evaluation of our benchmark science cases.
+Our next Milestone is the selection of the SWGO Site – stay tuned!

+From October 1st to 4th, 2023, the SWGO Collaboration meets in Prague, Czech Republic, for the 9th Collaboration Meeting.
+We engaged in insightful presentations regarding the work done so far and useful discussions of the forthcoming steps, both with the present attendees and individuals connecting from different parts of the world. Thanks to everyone for attending or joining at unconventional times.
