Research in Particle and Astroparticle Physics

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光脉冲，并被探测到。这些伽马射线的能量、速率和起源为星系的形成提供了信息。该实验还将寻找与黑洞与其周围环境之间的相互作用相关的伽马射线。这组人负责从探测器读出信号的电子设备。他们还在建造一个外壳，以保护探测器免受雷击。

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 group is responsible for the electronics which reads out the signals from the detector. They are also building an enclosure to protect the detector against lightening strikes.
