Detectors help enable science at many SLAC facilities and research programs, particularly in the fields of X-ray science, particle physics, and astrophysics.
An excess of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way, previously discussed as a sign of dark matter, is likely caused by the superdense remains of ancient stars.
It will provide new insights into the physics of black holes, the formation of chemical elements, stars and galaxies, and the evolution of the universe itself.
