SuGAR: Searching for the Sources of Galactic Cosmic Rays
The symposium will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, from October 14th to 17th, 2024.
It is possible to attend the symposium remotely. We will post the Zoom connection information a week before the conference.
Please note that there are separate registration forms for in-person and remote attendees.
SuGAR 2024 wishes to thank the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation for sponsoring this symposium.
Science Goals
The symposium aims to investigate the long-standing mystery surrounding the origin of cosmic rays within our galaxy. This event will bring together renowned experts to discuss both experimental and theoretical aspects of cosmic ray physics, with a particular emphasis on galactic sources.
Despite ongoing research, the question of where cosmic rays originate within the Milky Way remains unanswered. The symposium will host a number of invited speakers who are experts in various aspects of galactic multi-messenger astrophysics.
Furthermore, two dedicated discussion panels will provide opportunities for open discussion. One panel will delve into the current status and challenges of multi-messenger observations and theoretical modeling. The other will address the future of observations and instrumentation required to make a breakthrough in our understanding of the galactic origin of cosmic rays.
