The tenth topic is a new idea being discussed among UCI colleagues. If this topic is of interest to participants, we could discuss them during the mini workshop.
Some observations are emerging that Blazar gamma emissions show telltale temporal and energy spectral characteristics that may be explainable (only?) by such a mechanism. We could further scrutinize such astrophysical phenomena. I look forward to sharing expert opinions and ideas.
Opening and welcoming remarks
Astrophysical ZeV accelerator
ICECUBE and 10^20eV neutrinos
10:20a – Kusenko (UCLA)
Northern hot spot of UHECRs and the nearest star-burst Galaxy M82
11:00a – Mizuta (RIKEN)
General Relativistic MHD simulation of a blackhole, accretion disk, and jets
Diagnosing Plasma Heating and Particle Acceleration in Space and
EUSO experiments with Balloon and Space Station
2:00p – Feng, Tait, & Tajima (UCI), Barty* (LLNL) (unconfirmed)
Current status of the 5th force and possibility to test by laser Compton gamma rays
Possibility of simultaneously observing gamma ray bursts (with particular signatures)
and gravitational wave emission from Blazars
Thin film compression of laser and its application to high energies
Possible extra talks such as below, open to volunteers
-
Observational signatures of gamma rays from bright blazars. Unfortunately, Prof. Abazajian (UCI) is traveling on Feb. 6 but is available on Feb. 10 for discussion.
-
Neutrinos and laser detection, possibly by Ishikawa and Tajima
-
Observation of blazars by Fermi gamma-ray observatory.
