The conference will be dedicated to discussions on observations and results obtained in particle physics experiments at accelerators, underground laboratories, submarine facilities and in cosmic ray physics in the energy range from sub-GeV up to TeV and beyond, and their implications for fundamental physics, i.e., particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology.

Among the topics covered are new results -- and surveys of theoretical models - from particle physics experiments at accelerator laboratories, space-based and terrestrial astroparticle experiments, including searches for dark matter and double beta-decay, a better understanding of the production of ordinary and/or exotic matter, propagation of cosmic rays in the Galaxy and within the solar system, processes inducing trapped particles inside the Earth magnetosphere and their effects, space  environment - including Earth magnetosphere and Heliosphere and Solar-Terrestrial physics. The conference will also cover topics of physics and physics requirements on new advanced detectors, applications of simulation codes (e.g., GEANT4), detectors for high -energy physics and space environment. It will also include presentations of the performance of detectors employed (or to be employed) in experiments for particle physics, astroparticle physics, astrophysics research and in space environment.

Presentations include the following subjects: advances in particles physics from accelerator laboratories, advanced detectors, present and next generation of ground and space experiments, dark matter, double-beta decay, high-energy astrophysics, space environment, trapped particles, propagation of cosmic rays in the Earth magnetosphere, Heliosphere and Galaxy.

The conference is aimed to promote contacts and exchanges among scientists involved in Solar-Terrestrial physics, heliospheric physics, space physics, particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology both from the theoretical and the experimental approach.

Please be so kind to follow Web implemented procedures for abstract submission, registration and hotel booking.
