  "account": "The Gamma Ray SIG Seminar took place on November 20, 2026, as part of the Physics of the Cosmos Community's GR SIG Seminar series. The seminar focused on the technologies that would support a future Silicon + Scintillator based Gamma-Ray telescope.\n\nRegina Caputo, a speaker at the seminar, discussed the progress made in the development of this concept based on the technologies available in 2015. She shared both the successes and lessons learned in the process, with the aim of informing a potential future gamma-ray mission study from the Ad ASTRA process.\n\nThe seminar was held virtually and is part of a broader series of meetings within the Community Program Analysis Group (PhysPAG) Science Groups, under the Cosmic Pathfinders initiative. This seminar highlighted the ongoing efforts to advance gamma-ray telescope technology, a crucial component of our understanding of the cosmos.",
