The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is the project to plan and design the next ground-based observatory to detect gamma rays in the Southern Hemisphere. The experiment will be based on water Cherenkov detector units and placed at an altitude greater than 4,400 m in the Andes, to measure gamma rays from a few hundred GeV up to the PeV scale. SWGO will complement CTA and the...
LHAASO is a large hybrid extensive air shower array being constructed at Haizi Mountain, 4410 m a.s.l., in China. It has an excellent sensitivity for gamma-rays with energies from sub-TeV 10 PeV and also has a large field of view that can continuously monitor a large fraction of sky with declination from -20 degree to 80 degree since 2020. In this talk, we will report the status and recent...
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a precision particle physics detector on the International Space Station. Over 12 years, AMS has collected more than 230 billion cosmic rays, from elementary particles to iron nuclei, at energies up to multi-TeV. The precision spectrometer measures elementary particles and nuclei with ~1% accuracy, yielding many surprising results. The high energy data...
The space-based DAMPE (DArk Matter Particle Explorer) detector has been taking data since its successful launch in December 2015. Its main scientific goals include the indirect search for dark matter signatures in the cosmic electron and gamma-ray spectra, the measurements of galactic cosmic ray fluxes from tens of GeV up to hundreds of TeV and high energy gamma ray astronomy above a few...
