论文摘要
当前一代的仪器(例如HAWC和ARGO)证明了广泛的视野和高占空比的科学潜力,地面基于地面的伽马射线检测器,Lhaaso将在北半球进一步扩展。然而,南半球还没有这样的仪器,那里有很大的潜力在银河大规模发射的映射以及为瞬态和可变的多波长和多人传感器现象提供访问中。进入银河中心和与CTA-South的互补性是南部这种伽马射线天文台的其他关键动机。宇宙射线研究也有巨大的潜力,包括研究宇宙射线各向异性。在这项贡献中,我将介绍未来南部宽田伽马射线天文台(SWGO)的动机和概念,该天文台(SWGO)现在正式成为国际合作,目前处于R \&D阶段。我还将概述其科学目标。
The scientific potential of a wide field-of-view, and very-high duty cycle, ground-based gamma-ray detector has been demonstrated by the current generation of instruments, such as HAWC and ARGO, and will be further extended in the Northern Hemisphere by LHAASO. Nevertheless, no such instrument exists in the Southern Hemisphere yet, where a great potential lies uncovered for the mapping of Galactic large scale emission as well as providing access to the full sky for transient and variable multi-wavelength and multi-messenger phenomena. Access to the Galactic Centre and complementarity with the CTA-South are other key motivations for such a gamma-ray observatory in the South. There is also significant potential for cosmic ray studies, including investigation of cosmic-ray anisotropy. In this contribution I will present the motivations and the concept of the future Southern Wide-Field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO), now formally established as an international Collaboration and currently in R\&D phase. I will also outline its scientific objectives.
