The idea is to discuss the basic topics of high energy astrophysics in their connection to gamma-ray astronomy at energies between 1 GeV and 100 TeV.
The general topic of the Symposium is the continuum gamma-ray emission from cosmic objects and its physical interpretation, in terms of theory and in a multi-wavelength observational context - including regimes of ground-based as well as space-based observations. A special role play here also the nonthermal radio to X-ray and low-energy gamma-ray emission bands. Related activities in high energy neutrino astrophysics and regarding high energy cosmic rays will as well be covered by review talks.
The next year will see results from large ground-based gamma-ray observatories of the new generation, with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and thresholds below 100 GeV. They cover both the Southern and the Northern hemispheres. Thus it appears timely to discuss these results in the above broad perspective.
We expect about 200 participants or more. Four morning sessions will be allocated for invited talks to cover the topics outline below. On three days, there will be poster sessions of 1 hour during prime time in the afternoon. After the poster sessions, afternoon sessions from 16:00 - 18:00 will, in addition, include specific projects and multi-wavelength observations. On the one free afternoon there will be a boat trip in the Neckar Valley.
The Symposium is planned to consist of the following four parts:
