Gamma-Ray Summary Report
Abstract
This paper reviews the field of gamma-ray astronomy and describes future experiments and prospects for advances in fundamental physics and high-energy astrophysics through gamma-ray measurements. We concentrate on recent progress in the understanding of active galaxies, and the use of these sources as probes of intergalactic space. We also describe prospects for future experiments in a number of areas of fundamental physics, including: searches for an annihilation line from neutralino dark matter, understanding the energetics of supermassive black holes, using AGNs as cosmological probes of the primordial radiation fields, constraints on quantum gravity, detection of a new spectral component from GRBs, and the prospects for detecting primordial black holes.
