| - | 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 km^2, 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 m. Multiple options are still being explored for the outer array. | + | For the R&D phase of SWGO we defined nine milestones.

| 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. | 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. | ||
