Prof. Stefan Schael (RWTH Aachen University)01/08/2011, 10:20Plenary talksOralThe Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a high precision general-purpose particle physics detector that has been constructed in the past twelve years by a group of 600 scientists and engineers from 16 countries for the operation on board of the International Space Station (ISS). NASA and its international partners decided in 2010 that the ISS will be operated at least until 2020 with...Go to contribution page

Dr Mirko Boezio (INFN Sezione di Trieste)01/08/2011, 11:10Plenary talksOralThe PAMELA satellite-borne experiment has presented new results on the composition of the charged cosmic radiation that challenge the current paradigm of cosmic-ray acceleration and propagation in the Galaxy. The instrument was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and it has been collecting data since July 2006. The combination of a permanent magnet silicon strip spectrometer and a ...Go to contribution page

Dr Fiorenza Donato (Torino University)02/08/2011, 09:00Plenary talksOralI will review the interpretation of the most recent data on cosmic antimatter in terms of a possible Particle Dark Matter contribution. A major attention will be paid to the production of positrons and antiprotons by astrophysical sources, acting as a background in the indirect Dark Matter searches. The particle candidates confronted with the most recent antimatter data will...Go to contribution page

Dr Lorenzo Perrone (University of Salento and INFN Sezione di Lecce (Italy))02/08/2011, 10:20Plenary talksOralThe Pierre Auger Observatory has been designed to investigate the origin and the nature of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays using a hybrid detection technique. It is located on a plateau in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, and it consists of a surface array of about 3000 km^2 overlooked by 24 air fluorescence telescopes grouped in 4 sites, which together provide a powerful instrument for...Go to contribution page

Ignacio Taboada (Georgia Institute of Technology)02/08/2011, 11:10Plenary talksOralWe will review the status and results of future and current neutrino telescopes. We discuss methods for data analysis and signal to background discrimination. The search for potential sources of galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays with neutrino telescopes is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the results of IceCube, a on gigaton neutrino telescope in operation at the South Pole.Go to contribution page

Prof. James Buckley (Washington University)03/08/2011, 09:00Plenary talksOralGround-based gamma-ray instruments such as HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS make use of arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to provide sensitive measurements of astrophysical sources in the 100 GeV to 50 TeV energy range. Over the last decade, these instruments have detected ~ 100 sources that provide important data on the origin of cosmic rays and on particle acceleration in...Go to contribution page

Dr Pasquale Blasi Blasi (INAF/Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri)03/08/2011, 10:20Plenary talksOralI will review the current status of our understanding of the physical processes involved in the acceleration of cosmic rays (CRs), with special attention for supernova remnants as the main candidate sources for the bulk of CRs. Recent multifrequency observations, especially in the gamma ray band, have shed new light and raised new shadows on the general framework of the origin of CRs...Go to contribution page

Dr Gus Sinnis (Los Alamos National Laboratory)04/08/2011, 09:00Plenary talksOralGround-based gamma-ray astronomy has historically implemented two dramatically different techniques. One method employs Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope(s) (IACT) that detect the Cherenkov light generated in the atmosphere by extensive air showers. The other method employs particle detectors that directly detect the particles that reach ground level - known as Extensive Air...Go to contribution page

Dr David Berge (CERN)05/08/2011, 09:00Plenary talksOralThis talk will review recent results from searches for physics beyond the Standard Model performed by ATLAS and CMS, namely the search for the Higgs, for Supersymmetry signatures, or other new phenomena. Where possible updated results from the 2011 LHC running at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV will be included.Go to contribution page

Prof. Justin Read (ETH- Zurich & University of Leicester)05/08/2011, 10:20Plenary talksOralI discuss the observed distribution of dark matter on scales from galaxy clusters to nearby dwarf galaxies and the Solar neighbourhood. By comparing these observations with numerical simulations, we can already place interesting constraints on dark matter models: the data are consistent with dark matter being a cold, weakly interacting particle, while dark matter as alternative gravity...Go to contribution page

Seth Digel (KIPAC/SLAC)05/08/2011, 11:10Plenary talksOralThe Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the $Fermi$ mission began routine science operations almost exactly three years ago, on August 4, 2008, and has operated nearly flawlessly and stably. It has surveyed the sky in the 20 MeV to >300 GeV energy range with unprecedented depth and resolution and frequency of coverage. The rate of scientific return from the LAT continues to be high. I will...Go to contribution page
