Funded Activity Summary
Very high energy gamma-ray astronomy in Australia and the development of future gamma-ray detectors. Australia contributes to the burgeoning field of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy via its involvement in the CANGAROO-III project. I will continue the development of CANGAROO-III and establish links with the other collaborations in this field, in particular H.E.S.S., also in the southern hemisphere. Studies with CANGAROO-III of high energy gamma-ray sources such as supernova remnants and active galaxies will finally reveal the type of particles that are accelerated in such violent regions of our universe. The development of future ground-based gamma-ray detectors beyond CANGAROO-III is also a project aim, and will expand the energy coverage of gamma-ray detectors into uncharted territory.Funded Activity Details
