Future plans and world trend Masaki Mori Future plan meeting November 8, 2004
“Towards a Major Cherenkov Detectors” workshops • Paris (1992) • Calgary (1993) • Tokyo (1994) • Padova (1995) • Kruger Park (1997) • Snowbird (1999) "Towards a Network of Atmospheric Cherenkov Detectors"
The conference will cover the following topics: • Status of VHE astrophysics in 2005: new instruments and observations. • From shower images to astrophysical imaging. • Multi-wavelength observations and phenomenology of high-energy gamma-ray sources. • New projects in ground-based high-energy astrophysics. • Instrumentation and calibration for Cherenkov telescopes; inter-calibration with space instruments. • Data archiving and formatting and link with mainstream astrophysics.
