Hess Society is based with the heritage of Victor F. Hess, including many honorific awards plus his original 1936 Nobel Prize Certificate, and where ECHOPHYSICS, the first European Centre for the History of Physics, shows the exhibition 'RADIATION and Mankind' with nearly 600 valuable historical instruments including the rich historical heritage of the Vienna Institute for Radium Research, its first start-up equipment and all the original instruments that Victor Franz Hess had used during his crucial balloon ride in 1912. ========================================================================= Centenary Symposium 2012: Discovery of Cosmic Rays June 26-28, 2012 University of Denver, Denver, CO 80208 https://portfolio.du.edu/pc/port?portfolio=CR2012 This meeting will be at once a historical review of the developments during the 100 years since the discovery of cosmic rays by Victor Hess, a consolidation and summary of the current new data and understanding, and a look into the future of the field of cosmic ray research. ========================================================================= 39th COSPAR Scientific Assembly Event E1.15 Cosmic Ray Origins: Viktor Hess Centennial Anniversary 14-22 July 2012 Mysore, India, http://www.cospar-assembly.org/ One hundred years after Hess’ discovery of the radiation coming from space, the main questions about the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) are about to be answered. CRs, as observed in satellite, balloon and ground-based detectors, cover an enormous energy range, from below 100 MeV/nucleon to beyond 10^20 eV/particle, and they encompass electrons/positrons, antiprotons, and nuclei from Hydrogen to Actinides as well as gamma rays. There have been many advances in recent years in both measurements of CRs and in the models describing their acceleration and propagation through the Galaxy. Yet, the exact origin of these ubiquitous particles remains elusive. Recent advances in understanding the CRs up to the TeV region, through new data and theoretical models, will be highlighted during this event, along with prospects for future measurements. Gamma-ray observations from space and by ground Cherenkov telescopes will provide complementary information about the sources and distribution of CRs in the Milky Way. The session encourages presentation of new experimental approaches and theoretical analysis directed towards answering the question of the "Origin" for the cosmic messengers. ========================================================================= Symposium to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the discovery of cosmic rays by Victor F. Hess Bad Saarow/Pieskow (~60km south-east of Berlin) August 6-8, 2012. http://www.desy.de/2012vhess The symposium will be held exactly 100 years after the discovery at the place where Hess landed after his successful flight of August 7, 1912. The first day will be dedicated to the early years from about 1900-1950, the two following days overviews on all fields connected to cosmic ray physics will be presented, covering the historical development, the present status and future plans. ========================================================================= ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
