Energy Frontier ? Center-of-Mass Energy Man-made accelerator is already saturating (top) (W±,Z) (Nn=3) (gluon) Cosmic accelerator could expand the energy frontier? (J/y, t) Year
KEK for Cosmophysics? KEK’s Roadmap (5 yr): J-PARC & KEKB upgrade KEK seems to have avoided non-accelerator science, partly because of a law against it. Cosmo- physics Group CMB BESS ~2 yr old ~2 yr old The time is ripe to consider how KEK can commit itself in this direction
Aim of the workshop • To discuss the latest observational and • theoretical developments, • e.g., Fermi & PAMELA results • To exchange ideas on some of the most • fundamental problems, • e.g., origin of cosmic particles and jets • and the nature of dark matter • To address the future of accelerator lab. • (not politically but scientifically)
Acknowledgement • Many thanks for coming to this workshop. • Apology for the late starting of the workshop organization. (It was only ~3 months ago…) • - Please enjoy the workshop and autumn leaves! Tsukuba Mountain
