45th COSPAR Scientific Assembly, 13-21 July 2024 (Busan, S.Korea)

COSPAR-2024-E1.1: Origin of Cosmic Rays

Link to the COSPAR E1.1 agenda page

In recent years, the field of astrophysics has witnessed significant discoveries related to cosmic rays (CRs), thanks to the development of new experimental techniques and technology integrated into instruments launched into space and the upper atmosphere. These instruments include PAMELA, Fermi-LAT, AMS-02, CALET, DAMPE, NUCLEON, and ISS-CREAM. Ground-based gamma-ray telescopes, such as H.E.S.S., LHAASO, MAGIC, and VERITAS, along with the water Cherenkov detector HAWC, have also been able to investigate CR fluxes in distant regions. Additionally, the birth of gravitational wave astronomy (LIGO and Virgo) and the detection of the first astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube have marked significant milestones in the field. Meanwhile, older instruments like Voyager 1 and 2, built using technology from the 1970s, continue to provide unique information from interstellar space.

This event will showcase recent spectacular discoveries in multi-messenger astrophysics and new measurements of the CR species' spectra and isotopic composition. Direct measurements of gamma-ray and neutrino emissions from particle accelerators and interstellar space, as well as new findings on CRs at very high and ultra-high energies, will also be highlighted. The session encourages presentations of innovative experimental approaches and theoretical analyses that address questions related to the “Origin” of cosmic messengers.

COSPAR Scientific Assembly and its proceedings Advances in Space Research are open to all bona fide scientists.
