The recent observational evidence for the acceleration of the universe demonstrates that canonical theories of cosmology and particle physics are incomplete - if not incorrect - and that new physics is out there, waiting to be discovered.…

Cosmic rays and related measurements: IceTop overview; IceTop calibration; Cosmic ray composition; Air shower measurements; Studies of cosmic ray muons; Studies of PeV gamma rays; Cosmic ray anisotropy; Forbush decrease; Submitted papers to…

The formation and evolution of cold diffuse clouds (CDCs), the parent objects of dense molecular clouds, affects both the star formation process and that of larger-scale galactic evolution. We have begun a pilot study of one CDC's dust…

A unique new facility, capable of colliding beams of electrons with a wide range of nuclei as well as polarized protons and light ions, has been proposed to study the role of gluons in matter and perform precision mapping of the structure…

The standard model of cosmic ray propagation has been very successful in explaining all kinds of the Galactic cosmic ray spectra. However, high precision measurement recently revealed the appreciable discrepancy between data and model…

Solar and heliospheric cosmic rays provide a unique perspective in cosmic ray research: we can observe not only the particles, but also the properties of the plasmas in which the they are accelerated and propagate, using in situ and…

The University of Oxford has started the design and development of the new experiment ADLER (Airborne Detector for Low Energy Rays). This apparatus will measure the cosmic-ray muon flux at an altitude of 10 - 13km. The detector should be…

This paper briefly summarizes the status of the cosmic ray observations by EAS (Extended Air Shower) experiments with energy below 10**16eV and the related studies of the hadronic interaction models. Based on the observed sharp knee…

The understanding of the nature of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is one of the most intriguing open questions for current and future observatories. These particles are expected to be accelerated in extragalactic sources. Because of their…

An overview is given on the present status of the understanding of the origin of galactic cosmic rays. Recent measurements of charged cosmic rays and photons are reviewed. Their impact on the contemporary knowledge about the sources and…

We examine the cosmological constraints that can be achieved with a galaxy cluster survey with the future CORE space mission. Using realistic simulations of the millimeter sky, produced with the latest version of the Planck Sky Model, we…

After a brief overview of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, the status of construction and installation is described in the first part of the note. The second part of the document is devoted to a discussion of the general…

Molecular clouds act as primary targets for cosmic-ray interactions and are expected to shine in gamma-rays as a by-product of these interactions. Indeed several detected gamma-ray sources both in HE and VHE gamma-rays (HE: 100 MeV < E <…

I review the basics of perturbative QCD, including infrared divergences and safety, collinear and $k_T$ factorization theorems, and various evolution equations and resummation techniques for single- and double-logarithmic corrections. I…

In this contribution, a review of some of the most important QCD jet preliminary results from both CDF and D0 experiments in Run II is presented, together with future prospects as the integrated luminosity increases.

In an intriguing recent paper, Crittenden and Turok proposed cross-correlating the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with tracers of the matter density to probe the existence of a cosmological constant. Here I emphasize that a similar…

The characterization of the optical properties of the atmosphere in the near UV, in particular the tropospheric aerosol stratification, clouds optical depth and spatial distribution are common in the field of atmospheric physics, due to…

This paper focuses on a survey of experimental data related to radiation into CO$_2$ plasma flows, which are encountered during Mars and Venus entries. The review emphasizes on VUV and IR radiation, since recent experimental efforts has…

This report describes the physics potential and experiments at a future multi-TeV e+e- collider based on the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) technology. The physics scenarios considered include precision measurements of known quantities as…

We review the latest developments in our X-ray observational and theoretical understanding of the outskirts of galaxy clusters, and their connection to the cosmic web. The faint cluster outskirts are challenging regions to observe in…
