URL: http://www-conf.kek.jp/heap09/ First Circular (5 Oct. 2009) =========================================================================== High energy astrophysics is now a crossover discipline tying the diverse fields of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will soon begin its exploration of TeV scale physics, whose results can profoundly affect the future development of cosmology and particle astrophysics. The recently-launched Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has already detected numerous objects at GeV energies, including new pulsars and cosmological jet sources such as gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. Possible excesses of cosmic-ray electrons and positrons, recently indicated by PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS, also connect dark matter physics and astrophysics. In the TeV gamma-ray sky, ground-based telescopes (HESS/MAGIC/VERITAS/MILAGRO) have successfully made many new discoveries, leading to dedicated plans for next-generation facilities (CTA/AGIS/HAWC). We are also witnessing the dawn of a new era of multi-messenger astronomy, utilizing not only photons but also cosmic-rays (Auger/TA), neutrinos (IceCube/ANTARES) and gravitational waves (LIGO/Virgo/GEO/LCGT/AIGO/LISA/DECIGO). In these interdisciplinary fields, the role of accelerator laboratories are becoming ever more important, both technologically and scientifically, as exemplified by the Fermi experiment led by SLAC. In view of the difficulties in advancing the energy frontier in terrestrial experiments, this trend is expected to intensify along with future increases in energy scale and project size. Thus, the time is ripe to seriously consider how KEK can commit itself in this direction, including the iniation of large, experimental cosmophysics projects as its main activity on a 10-year time scale. The aim of this workshop is to exchange ideas on some of the most fundamental problems in cosmophysics, such as the origin of cosmic particles and jets and the nature of dark matter, as well as to address the future of accelerator laboratories including KEK, by discussing the latest observational and theoretical developments in these fields with invited researchers from around the world.

Through the same page, you can make your abstract submission and KEK User Registration. All visitors to KEK are supposed to make the KEK User Registration, independently of the workshop registration. Instructions can be found on the webpage. Abstract submission (Deadline: 21 Oct. 2009): In addition to the invited talks, we have some slots for oral talks. We will have no poster session. If you would like to give a talk, please give the title and abstract when you make the online registration. Registration Fee: The registration fee is 500 yen. The fee will be collected at the registration desk by cash. This covers beverage and food during coffee break. Banquet: We are planning to have a banquet on the 2nd day (~3000 yen). The fees will be collected at the registration desk by cash. Accommodation: KEK has a big dormitory for visitors. If you would like to book a single bedroom without bath and restroom, you can make a reservation when you make the online registration. This dormitory is equipped with laundry rooms, shower rooms and shared kitchens. The room charge is 1,500 yen per night. Although you can reserve a room with bath and restroom, it is limited in number and you have to make a reservation by yourself through the webpage of the KEK Users Office. You also need to make the User Registration in advance. There are a couple of hotels outside the KEK campus as well. If you would like to use them, please make booking by yourself. For invited speakers, we will make arrangements for a hotel, URBAN HOTEL http://www.urbanhotel.co.jp/uhotel.html which is within walking distance of KEK (~20-25min) and ~10min from Tsukuba Center by car. Financial support (Deadline: 21 Oct. 2009): We will support the expenses of the domestic travel and accommodation in the KEK dormitory for participants, in priority to oral speakers. Note that we can only provide the dormitory-rate-equivalent even if you stay at a hotel. You can apply for the financial support when you make the online registration. Internet: To use the wireless LAN, you need to apply for it in advance according to the following procedure. http://www.kek.jp/uskek/eng/other/lan2.html Currency Exchange: We recommend you to exchange your money into Japanese Yens at a Currency Exchange counter at the Airport on your arrival.
