SSL will have a booth at AGU
For the first time, SSL will have its own booth at the Fall American Geophysical Union (AGU) Meeting, from Monday, December 11, through Thursday, December 14, at the Moscone Center. AGU is expected to have more than 25,000 attendees from over one hundred countries and the theme is Wide Open Science. SSL scientists will be […]
GAPS Fact Sheet
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is the first experiment optimized to detect cosmic-ray antinuclei below 0.25 GeV/n as a signature of dark matter annihilation or decay in the Galaxy.
DESI Fact Sheet
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will measure the effect of dark energy on the expansion of the universe. It will obtain optical spectra for tens of millions of galaxies and quasars, constructing a 3D map spanning the nearby universe to 11 billion light years.
FUEGO Fact Sheet
FUEGO’s scientific objective is to detect the very beginnings of wildfires, and to provide real-time information on a fire’s intensity, evolution and movement. The system is an imager operating in two IR bands (4 and 9 microns wavelength), with a visible context imager.
Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI) Fact Sheet
ISI is a three-telescope interferometric array that uses heterodyne detection at 11 microns wavelength (27 THz).
EUSO-SPB2 Fact Sheet
The origin and nature of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) and neutrinos (UHEN) remain unsolved in contemporary astroparticle physics. The Extreme Universe Space Observatory Super Pressure Balloon II Mission (EUSO-SPB2) is one of several precursor missions for a space mission (JEM-EUSO) that would be dedicated to UHECR research.
MIST Fact Sheet
The Mapper of the IGM Spin Temperature (MIST) aim is to detect the global 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn and the dark age.
STAR
The primary physics objective of STAR is to study the formation and characteristics of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter believed to exist at sufficiently high energy densities.
EDGES Fact Sheet
Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES). Detect the global 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn. Characterize the diffuse synchrotron radiation from the Milky Way.
COSI Fact Sheet
COSI is a wide field of view gamma-ray telescope that obtains high spectral resolution from 0.2 to 5 MeV, enabling sensitive narrow line imaging of the entire Galaxy.
