Mini-Symposium on Particle Astrophysics: High-energy cosmic rays, gamma-rays and neutrinos
Rationale:
More than a hundred years after the discovery of cosmic rays, their origin still remains enigmatic, especially a very high energies. The study of their secondary gamma-rays and neutrinos has allowed to make important progress in our understanding of their acceleration and propagation mechanisms. Recently, the field has witnessed several remarkable breakthroughs including, amongst others, the discovery of TeV pulsar halos by HAWC, the observation of Galactic PeVatrons and of GRB 221009A by LHAASO, as well as the detection of Galactic and extragalactic VHE neutrinos by IceCube. With the advent of multi-messenger astronomy, further substantial progress is now within reach.
This mini-symposium aims at discussing recent developments, both in theory and observations, on key open questions, including the nature of cosmic-ray, gamma-ray, and neutrino sources, cosmic-ray acceleration mechanisms, and their propagation from the sources to the Earth.
Topics:
The following topics will be covered in this mini-symposium:
- Galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays (acceleration, propagation)
- Gamma-ray astronomy (Galactic and extragalactic sources, interpretation and modeling of these sources, prospects for future experiments, etc.)
- Neutrino astronomy (Galactic and extragalactic sources, diffuse emission, interpretation and modeling, prospects for future experiments at VHE and UHE, etc.)
