Every year, the ISAPP
European network organises schools addressed first to doctorate students -experimentalists,
observers and theorists- in the astroparticle domain.
The present school
will be held in Paris, from 2 to 13 July 2012, and is dedicated to the
multi-messenger approaches in high energy astrophysics, a subject of particular
relevance this year of the centenary of
the discovery of cosmic rays: cosmic-ray and gamma-ray astrophysics are now
reaching maturity, while gravitational and neutrino astronomy are getting close
to actual measurements. The goal of the school is to offer a complete perspective
to students who are often involved in only one aspect.
Introductory courses
will set the scene at the edges between particle physics and astrophysics,
while main lectures will review the high energy processes in the Universe on
both observational and theoretical aspects. The challenges to detect neutrinos,
cosmic-rays, gamma-rays and gravitational waves will be addressed through
lectures illustrated with recent astrophysical results.
The program will be
completed by a prospective outlook of the domain, and a review of the situation
regarding the Dark Universe.
The schedule is
organized with time slots devoted to interactions between students and
teachers. Participants are encouraged to bring posters presenting their
research work. Sessions will be organised for the posters to be presented.
The School is open to
PhD students and post-docs working in the field of high energy astrophysics and
particle physics. A letter from each registrant's advisor is mandatory to
finalize the registration process.
The School will be
held at the APC laboratory, 10, rue Alice Domon et Léonie Duquet, 75205 Paris
Cedex 13.
Pre-registration will be open from January 9th
to April 9th, 2012.
The attendance being
limited to 60, a selection of participants will be made at the end of the
pre-registration period. Final acceptation will be given by April 20th, 2012.
