RICAP'07, Roma International
Conference on Astro-Particle physics at
University "Sapienza" - June 20th - 22nd, 2007, Roma, Italy.
It is the first edition of a series of International Conferences
entirely dedicated to high energy cosmic rays study,
organized by the three public Universities of Roma and by the INFN:
University and INFN of Roma "Sapienza",
University and INFN of Roma "Tor Vergata" and University and INFN of
"Roma Tre".
In these institutions, indeed, there is an intense activity on
Astro-Particle physics,
visible both in the participation to major experimental projects in the
field
(AGILE, AMS, ANTARES, ARGO, Auger, GLAST, NEMO, PAMELA, …) and in a
deep and fruitful theoretical speculation.
The RICAP Conference will be held every two years.
The first edition will be held at the University of Roma "Sapienza",
the second one at the University of Roma "Tor Vergata"
and the third one at "Roma Tre". |

SCIENTIFIC TOPICS |
|
The aim of the Conference is to present
and discuss some of the most relevant theoretical and experimental
results in the field of high energy cosmic rays. Special attention will
be paid to the investigation of the various astrophysical sources,
using photons, very high energy cosmic rays and neutrinos as probes
(multi-messenger observations). The Conference will give the
opportunity to collect experimental results; contributions from
presently operating experiments (H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS, PAMELA,
Auger, ARGO, ANTARES, Baikal, IceCube, LOPES, ANITA …) are strongly
encouraged. Experiments in progress and future projects (AGILE, GLAST,
NEMO, NESTOR, KM3NeT, Telescope Array, ASHRA, TUNKA, ...) will be
discussed, debating on the different features and on sensitivities.
Particular relevance will be given to examine the different source
candidates (point sources, transient sources, diffuse flux sources …);
comparison of models and discussions will be promoted.
