Dr Roberto Aloisio (INAF - Osservatorio Astrofisico Arcetri)22/06/2012, 11:20A general review on the propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) in astrophysical backgrounds will be presented, with particular emphasis on the comparison among theoretical models and recent observations by the Pierre Auger Observatory. In particular, the observed spectrum and chemical composition of UHECR will be discussed in connection with the theoretical aspects of the...Go to contribution page

Prof. Vincenzo Flaminio (PI)22/06/2012, 11:45More than one hundred years after the first observations of cosmic rays, and in spite of the impressive amount of data that have in the meantime been collected, many of the problems connected with their origin and propagation remain unsolved. It is a common, but poorly supported, belief that they must originate from catastrophic events which take place in our as well as in other Galaxies....Go to contribution page

Dr Juan Antonio Aguilar Sanchez (University of Geneva)22/06/2012, 12:10The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a kilometer‐scale detector located in the South Pole. The full detector comprises 5,160 photomultipliers deployed along 86 strings at depths between 1.5‐2.5 km in the ice. Muon tracks arriving in the detector from neutrino interactions are reconstructed using the time and charge information detected by the array of PMTs. In this contribution we present the...Go to contribution page
