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.

澳大利亚通过实验研究被称为宇宙射线的最高能量粒子，在极端能量宇宙的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，以了解银河系中这些宇宙射线的来源。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年来的问题提供了最好的机会。该项目将对被恒星爆炸等极端物体破坏的银河系产生新的看法，并为澳大利亚研究人员提供解决自然界根本问题的新的科学和高科技培训机会。
