| + | 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 April 9th to 12th, we gathered in Mexico City for the 10th SWGO Collaboration Meeting. | ||
| - | During this meeting, we immersed ourselves in excellent presentations detailing the progress achieved thus far, alongside fruitful discussions regarding our milestones and the next steps. These exchanges took place not only among the present attendees but also with individuals connecting from various parts of the world. | ||
| - | We extend our gratitude to all participants for their valuable contributions. | ||
