The Milagro experiment consists of a huge tank of water. High energy gamma rays or photons produce bursts of light in the water which are detected. The energies, rates, and origins of these gamma rays give information on the formation of galaxies. The experiment will also look for gamma rays associated with the interactions between a black hole and its surroundings. This proposal is for funds to operate the detector.

米拉格罗实验由一个巨大的水箱组成。 高能伽马射线或光子在水中产生可被检测到的光脉冲。 这些伽马射线的能量、速率和起源提供了星系形成的信息。 该实验还将寻找与黑洞及其周围环境相互作用相关的伽马射线。 这一提议是为了获得运行探测器的资金。
