Description
After 10 years of successful operation the ANTARES neutrino telescope will be de-commissioned during 2017. Recently we prepared a proposal which has been submitted to the ANTARES Collaboration in 09/2016: Antares Modules In a Gamma-ray Observatory (AMIGO). We therein propose to recover the optical modules (17inch glass spheres housing each a 10inch PMT) during the de-commission operation and dedicate them to a next generation, wide-field of view gamma-ray observatory in the Southern Hemisphere.
In this contribution we outline the driving ideas behind the AMIGO proposal, discuss its status and upcoming work.
