Description
Soft gamma-ray observations are key to understanding the astrophysics of high-energy phenomena including accreting black holes, stellar flares, matter-antimatter annihilations, cosmic rays, and dark matter, among others. In this talk, I will give an overview on how these measurements are performed, the next generation MeV telescope, COSI, and projects in my group related to nucleosynthesis, the cosmic gamma-ray background, and ideas to overcome the MeV sensitivity gap with new instruments concepts.
