First ALTO paper
Our first peer-reviewed paper “Signal extraction in atmospheric shower arrays designed for 200 GeV – 50 TeV gamma-ray astronomy” is published in the Journal of Instrumentation (JINST). The arxiv version is available here. The JINST published Open Access version can be found here. Our method can be useful also for other ground-based gamma-ray observatories using…
Big Data 2019 and Open Science tutorial
Hej! Big Data 2019 at Linnéuniversitetet is approaching. Invited speakers, Fast-Forward sessions and a cool tutorial in Open Science! Come and mingle with the Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA) people! All the information about the event can be found at this page. We will present 4 posters related to ALTO/COMET activities: Data analysis for…
Big Data Hackathon
Hej! We will provide ALTO simulations and real data for the Big Data Hackathon organized in the framework of DISA at Linnaeus University. This event supports open source and open science. Join us!
Restyling and new webpages
We have almost completed the migration of our website on this new platform. In addition, now the astroparticle/gamma-ray group has new webpages with all our other research activities in gamma-ray astronomy: https://astrogamma.se/

Astronomins Dag och Natt 2017 – Come and hear about ALTO!
Hej! If you are in Växjö on September Saturday the 23rd, come to Linnaeus University and hear about the ALTO project! There will be fun activities for children at all school ages and three popular science talks.
July 2017 – ICRC 2017 presentations done!
Finally! We presented the ALTO project at the ICRC2017 in Busan (South Korea) in a talk and in a poster and now we are relaxing a bit before the construction of the prototype. Our two contributions were the first two made in a big international cosmic-ray conference. Next scheduled presentations at conferences will be at…
