Dr Nigel Lockyer (FNAL)08/05/2017, 10:00The Fermilab Neutrino Program- Nigel Lockyer, FermilabParticle Physics is one of the most basic of curiosity driven sciences. Collecting the global community together worldwide to begin the process of having a truly worldwide plan for large particle physics facilities is underway. The field of Particle Physics has always been international as evidenced by Tevatron collider at Fermilab, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and the bottom quark...Go to contribution page

Chad Finley (Oskar Klein Centre, Stockholm University)08/05/2017, 11:00IceCube results- Chad Finley, StockholmWith one cubic kilometer of instrumented ice beneath the South Pole, IceCube enables the study of a wide range of phenomena including neutrino astronomy, dark matter searches, neutrino oscillations, and cosmic ray physics. Four years ago IceCube announced the first observations of the long-anticipated flux of high energy neutrinos from deep space. The neutrino energies are up to 100 million...Go to contribution page

Dr Jamie Holder (University of Delaware)08/05/2017, 11:30IACT: present & future- Jamie Holder, DelawareThe current generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays have been operating for over a decade, and have succeeded in measuring the high energy emission from almost 200 sources. These observations probe the mechanisms of particle acceleration in a wide variety of extreme environments, and over a huge range of spatial scales - from pulsar magnetospheres to the jets of...Go to contribution page

Prof. Keith Olive (University of Minnesota)08/05/2017, 12:00Invited plenaryThe current status of supersymmetric models of dark matter is reviewed. Prior to Run I at the LHC, there were great expectations for the discovery of supersymmetry at the LHC and dark matter in direct detection experiments. Unfortunately, there was no sign of supersymmetry in Run I (or Run II so far), nor any direct detection signal. I concentrate on models of supersymmetry inspired by...Go to contribution page

Prof. John Beacom (Ohio State University)09/05/2017, 11:00Neutrinos from Supernovae- John Beacom, Ohio StateWhat is required to develop the full potential of neutrino astronomy? Robust detections, spanning a variety of energies and sources. Interdisciplinary work to define theoretical predictions. And careful comparisons of experiment and theory to develop new conclusions about astrophysical sources and neutrinos themselves. Supernova neutrinos must be part of this program. I will describe the...Go to contribution page

Dr Valerio Verzi (Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare)10/05/2017, 09:00High-Energy Cosmic Rays - Valerio Verzi, INFN RomaUltra-High Energy Cosmic Rays are charged particles of energies above 10^18 eV that originate outside of the Galaxy. Their very small flux is detected by the two giant experiments, the Pierre Auger Observatory and Telescope Array, which extend over areas of 3000 km^2 in the southern hemisphere and 700 km^2 in northern one, respectively. I will review the observational results reported by...Go to contribution page

Dr Kohta Murase (Penn State)10/05/2017, 09:30Non-Thermal Sources in the Universe- Kohta Murase, Penn StateStarburst galaxies and galaxy clusters/groups serve as the storage rooms of cosmic rays. It was theoretically predicted that such cosmic-ray reservoirs are promising sources of neutrinos and gamma rays. The models are indeed consistent with the high-energy neutrino data measured by IceCube, and that they could give a convergence picture of neutrinos, gamma rays and ultrahigh-energy cosmic...Go to contribution page

Dr Walter Winter (DESY)10/05/2017, 10:00Multi-Messenger Particle Astrophysics- Walter Winter, ZeuthenI illustrate different techniques used in multi-messenger particle astrophysics relevant for the identification of the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos, and their major challenges. These techniques range from generic approaches (such as the relationship between the diffuse gamma-ray and neutrino backgrounds if produced in the same interaction chain), over the secondary production...Go to contribution page

10/05/2017, 11:00The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is an all-sky surveying instrument that covers 2/3 of the sky in 24 hours. It is located in Sierra Negra, Mexico at an elevation of 4,100 m, and was inaugurated in March 2015. In addition to providing continuous sky coverage for transient events with a >95% duty cycle, HAWC is also well suited to measure extended and large-scale...Go to contribution page

Anna Franckowiak (DESY)10/05/2017, 12:00Neutrino Astronomy of Transient Signals- Anna Franckowiak, DESYThe recent discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos has opened a new window to the Universe. However, the sources of those neutrinos are still unknown. Many of the plausible candidates are of transient nature, such as gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, tidal disruption events and flares of active galactic nuclei. Combining neutrino data with electromagnetic (EM) measurements in a...Go to contribution page
