Australia plays a pivotal role in studies of the Universe at extreme energies, via experiments studying the highest energy particles known as cosmic-rays. This project will combine the diverse fields of gamma-ray and radio astronomy to understand where these cosmic-rays in the Milky Way come from. Australian radio telescopes in tandem with an Australian supported high energy gamma-ray telescope offer the best chance to tackle this 100 year old problem. The project will generate a new look at our Milky Way disrupted by extreme objects such as exploding stars, and, provide a new science and high technical training opportunity for Australian researchers to tackle a fundamental problem in nature.

澳大利亚通过研究被称为宇宙射线的最高能量粒子的实验，在极端能量宇宙研究中发挥着关键作用。该项目将结合伽马射线和射电天文学的不同领域，以了解银河系中的这些宇宙射线来自何处。澳大利亚射电望远镜与澳大利亚支持的高能伽马射线望远镜相结合，为解决这个 100 年前的问题提供了最佳机会。该项目将为我们的银河系带来新的视角，并为澳大利亚研究人员提供新的科学和高科技培训机会，以解决自然界中的基本问题。
