In particular we kindly ask you to circulate the following message and the attached Bullettin #1 to your community. We thank you in advance and we look forward to meet you at SpacePart12 ! The Conference Chairs Roberto Battiston Sergio Bertolucci University and INFN, Perugia CERN, Geneva ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleague, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming SpacePart12 Conference, which will take place on November 5-7 at CERN. The Conference will take place at CERN since 2012 marks the 100th discovery of Cosmic Rays, which gave birth to particle physics and, subsequently, of CERN. Today the links between accelerator physics and fundamental physics in space are strong and growing, with the goal to answer in a complementary way fundamental questions about the universe and its laws. This is a main theme for this conference, providing a series of talks from various leading scientists and policy maker in the field. For additional informations about topics, speakers and logistics, please have a look to the attached Bulletin #1 and to the Conference web page, https://spacepart12.web.cern.ch/. Registration is opened. We recalla that there are a limited number of accommodations available at CERN on a first come first served base We look forward to meet you at SpacePart12 !

The conference is will be hosted at CERN premises. Details can be found on the conference web site http://cern.ch/spacepart12 Program The previous three SpacePart conferences were in Isola d'Elba (Italy, 2002), at Washington DC (US, 2003) and Beijing (China, 2006). They have been very successful in bringing together scientists working on particle and fundamental physics in space as well as space policy makers from around the world, for fruitful, effective exchange of views on the progress of space related science and technology programs in the field of particle and fundamental physics in space. The 2012 Space Part Conference will take place at CERN, and this is not by chance. CERN is the world leading laboratory in thefield of particle physics. Exactly a century ago, Victor Hess performed a series of historical balloon flights discovering a new form of cosmic radiation, the Cosmic Rays. During the following 40 years, the study of Cosmic Rays allowed the discovery of the first antiparticle followed by a stream of new, totally unexpected particles giving literally birth to particle physics. The construction and the triumph of the Standard Model of elementary particles and fundamental interactions, to which CERN has contributed so significantly, is rooted on the early discovery and on the study of the radiation coming from space. The experimental study of particle and fundamental physics in space is pursued today with extremely sophisticated techniques. On ground, the largest accelerator of the world, LHC at CERN, is exploring the edges of knowledge recreating the conditions of the first moment of the universe. In space, powerful observatories interrogate, with an unbelievable accuracy the various forms of cosmic radiation, charged and neutral, messengers of the most extreme conditions of matter and energy. (SpacePart12 p 1/3) *********************************************************************** During the last 5 years at least 4 large observatories have been added to the fleet of instruments operating in space: Fermi, Herschel, Planck, AMS-02, providing and overwhelming amount of high precision data. Most of the discoveries, however, are yet to be made: in spite of a century of fundamental progresses and of extraordinary advances in instrument sensitivities, we still understand less than 5 percent of what makes up our universe. The curiosity of scientists is understandably at the highest and their ingenuity is provoked to provide for new methods and techniques to explore the unknown. SpacePart '12 will be an opportunity to celebrate one hundred years of particle physics, by reviewing the status of the field, with particular attention to the open issues and to the role which could have, during the coming years, space borne as well as ground based studies of the various form of cosmic radiation in shedding light on the dark sides of our universe. During the last decade the growth rate of contributions to the understanding of our universe from results provided by space borne observatories has been outstanding. In addition to US, Russia, Europe and Japan, new players, most notably China, but also India and Korea, are taking leading roles in this field. Our aim is then to bring together leading researchers from around the world and from diverse subfields of physics, astroparticle physics and astrophysics, having common interests in elementary particle and fundamental interactions, astrophysics and cosmology, in the broad context of space-based experimental approach. The primary focus will be on fundamental science results and new proposals, but we also foresee few talks related to the most promising technologies. The conference program will include invited talks from leading scientists as well as from leading representatives of the international space community, covering both science, technology and strategies for the future. The conference will be organized as a series of plenary half-day sessions. A detailed preliminary program will be forwarded to participants with bulletin no. 2 and published on the conference web site http://cern.ch/spacepart12 Attendance and Registration Attendance will be limited. Those interested in participating should register no later than October 15th, 2012. (SpacePart12 p 2/3) *********************************************************************** Contributions to the conference will be based on invited reviews and round panels. The final program will be prepared with the help of the International Advisory Committee (IAC). Abstracts will be provided on the Conference website. Conference Fee The conference fee will be 300 CHF, and will cover the cost of the coffee breaks, reception, social dinner and the conference package including the conference set of presentation. Students and young Ph.D. are encouraged to attend; therefore, we will provide a discounted conference fee of 150 CHF for students and postdocs within three years of obtaining their Ph.D. degree. Registrations will be accepted after October 15th, 2012, but at an increased fee of 350 CHF (for young partecipants 200 CHF). Some limited support could be available on the basis of well justified motivations to be provided to the conference chairs and within budget limitations. Accommodation The conference will be hosted at CERN in the Main Auditorium. Accomodation will be available on a first come, first served basis at the CERN Hostels. Logistic details can be found on the Conference Indico page http://cern.ch/spacepart12 Payment Conference and accommodation fees must be paid in advance following the instructions on the SpacePart '12 Indico website http://cern.ch/spacepart12 Important Dates On-line registrations: by October 15th, 2012 Final Program: October 25th, 2012 Meeting sessions: November 5th - 7th, 2012 For additional questions please contact: space.part [at] cern.ch Local Organizing Committee ------------------------------------ Cristin TITUS PH Division CERN - Mailbox Y05600 CH-1211 Geneva 23 CERN - Switzerland Phone: +1 617 3067977 Fax: +41 22 7677263 email: space.part [at] cern.ch web: http://cern.ch/spacepart12 ------------------------------------- Marta PERUCCI INFN Sezione of Perugia Via Pascoli I-06123 Perugia - Italy Phone: +39 075 5852719 Fax: +39 075 5852719 email: space.part [at] cern.ch web: http://cern.ch/spacepart12 ------------------------------------- (SpacePart12 p 3/3) *********************************************************************** ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
