Welcome to the Home Page of the Gamma-Ray and X-Ray Topical Group of the Astro/Cosmo/Particle Physics Working Group

Our goals are to:

  • Review the status of the field
  • Outline a vision for the future of the field

We expect and hope for broad community participation at the workshop.  There will be invited talks that are meant to define the outlines of the workshop goals.  However, people are encouraged to contribute talks. We expect to have some time during each working group session for impromptu talks and group discussion.

We have provided a page of useful links to experimental and theoretical web sites that are pertinent to the field.

Talks with underlined titles are hyperlinked to pdf files of the talk.  Click on the link to view the talk.
