GammaSIG

Purpose

The

goal of

GammaSIG

is to provide quantitative metrics and assessments to NASA in regard to current and future needs of hard X-ray and gamma-ray astrophysics community. Specifically, the

GammaSIG

will:

Act as a focal point and forum for the

hard X-ray and gamma

ray community.

T

o organize

telecons

to discuss recent science results and current and future missions

Maintain a list of technology needs for future hard X-ray and gamma-ray missions.

Produce suggestions to help support the specific needs of this unique community: organizational, scientific, funding
