Overview

The exploration of the subnuclear world is done through increasingly complex experiments covering a wide range of energy and performed in a large variety of environments ranging from particle accelerators, underground detectors to satellites and the space laboratory. The achievement of these research programs calls for novel techniques, new materials and instrumentation to be used in detectors, often of large scale. Therefore, fundamental physics is at the forefront of technological advance and also leads to many applications. Among these, are the progresses from space experiments whose results allow the understanding of the cosmic environment, of the origin and evolution of the universe after the Big Bang.Contents: Space Experiments and Cosmic Rays ObservationsProduction and Propagation of Cosmic Rays in the Galaxy and HeliosphereDark Matter Searches, Underwater and Underground ExperimentsHigh Energy Physics ExperimentsTracker and Position Sensitive DetectorsCalorimetryAdvanced Detectors, Particles Identification, Devices and Materials in RadiationBroader Impacts Activities, Treatments and Software ApplicationReadership: Graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics.
