Objetives

It focuses on the observation and measurement of high-energy astrophysical processes, including the observation of cosmic rays (AMS experiment), the study of the nature of dark energy through the observation of galaxies, galaxy clusters, supernovas, and gravitational lensing (DES experiment), and the observation of spatial correlations between galaxies (PAU experiment). Additionally, it participates in the development and construction of gamma-ray cosmic radiation detection facilities with sensitivity orders of magnitude higher than current installations.
