Shuang-Nan Zhang (Institute of High Energy Physics)20/05/2014, 09:00In this talk, I will summarize China's programs of astroparticle physics in space. The approved missions are the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) satellite mission for launch in 2015, the dedicated gamma-ray burst polarization expariment POLAR on China's spacelab for launch in 2015, the multiwavelength gamma-ray burst satellite mission SVOM for launch before 2020. Two missions under...Go to contribution page

Fernando Ferroni (ROMA1)24/05/2014, 09:25INFN has an outstanding tradition of research in the field of astroparticle physics. The bulk of the experiments are performed at LNGS but the presence of INFN is visible also in space, underwater and remote lands. The most important question we ask ourselves is : what next. A new generation of underground experiments is needed for double beta decay and the mostly elusive dark matter. But we...Go to contribution page

Pietro Ubertini (IAPS-INAF)24/05/2014, 11:00The COSPAR President on April 20, 2010 appointed the “Future of Space Astronomy” Working Group under the aegis of Commission E, with the aim to analyze the difficult situation of space astronomy over the next two decades and recommend ways to improve the prospects. Having assessed the scientific needs and the current plans of the main space agencies worldwide, the WG initially identified some...Go to contribution page

Zhen Cao (Institute of High Energy Physics)24/05/2014, 11:25As one of encouraging approaches to search for cosmic ray origins, the VHE gamma ray astronomy has achieved such a success that more than 140 VHE gamma ray sources has been discovered, mainly by using the pointing Cherenkov telescopes such as HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS. Some sources have been deeply investigated for their morphology. The origin of the cosmic rays is still unknown. It might become...Go to contribution page

Andrea Santangelo (IAAT Kepler Center, University of Tuebingen)24/05/2014, 11:50The exploration of the Extreme Universe, at energies around 10^20 eV, from space has now an history of studies and experimental and technological developments which traces back to about 20 years ago. In this contribution I will briefly summarize the science rationale behind the search from space of EECRs and I will then discuss the most recent developments of the studies on the EUSO...Go to contribution page

Eugenio Coccia (INFN-GSSI and U. of Rome Tor Vergata)24/05/2014, 12:15Direct detection of gravitational waves from astrophysical sources is one of the great challenges of contemporary experimental physics. Gravitational waves were predicted almost 100 years ago by Einstein and their detection motivates today about one thousand scientists, constructing new apparatuses and developing advanced technologies and data analysis algorithms. Observation and study of...Go to contribution page
