SUMMARY:Accelerating the Search for Cosmic Accelerators\, NPAC (Nuclea
 r/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Amanda Weinstein\, Iowa State Universi
 ty
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 15 years\, gamma-ray observations have becom
 e a cornerstone of the rapidly expanding field of multi-messenger astr
 onomy. Gamma-ray astronomy has helped revolutionize our view of the no
 n-thermal universe and galvanized our search for the powerful natural 
 particle accelerators found throughout the cosmos. These advances have
  relied on the capabilities of both the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescop
 e (sensitive to energies between 30 MeV and 1 TeV) and the ground-base
 d very high energy (VHE\; E>85 GeV) gamma-ray observatories VERITAS\, 
 H.E.S.S.\, MAGIC\, and HAWC.<br>
\n<br>
\nOur progress has left us wit
 h as many new questions as we have answers. In the long term\, these f
 resh questions may be addressed by next-generation observatories using
  new technology. However\, much can be done now by expanding the capab
 ilities of existing instruments and by more effectively combining data
  from the different observatories. I will outline a promising new appr
 oach that extends the reach of the gamma-ray observatory VERITAS while
  providing a natural context for combining data from multiple instrume
 nts.  I will also consider the application of this approach to several
  of the field's outstanding questions and goals.<br>
