The 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...

The 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 ...

I 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...

The 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...

We 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.

Ground-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...

I 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...

Ground-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...

This 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.

I 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...

The 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...
