Finding the optimal trigger strategy for the SWGO — •Johannes Bennemann for the SWGO collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) will be the first water-Cherenkov gamma-ray instrument in the Southern Hemisphere. It will consist of over 6000 water-Cherenkov detector units at an altitude of at least 4.4 km. An instrument of this size will be subject to constant bombardment with cosmic rays and thus produce a huge amount of data. This makes a sophisticated trigger strategy necessary to achieve the highest possible sensitivity whilst reducing the readout bandwidth. This talk will cover the simulation and optimization of trigger strategies for the SWGO.
