Roadmap

This report, promoted by  ApPEC, describes the status and perspective of the field within Europe and links it to activities in other parts of the world. It aims to promote Astroparticle Physics within the member states of ASPERA, to stimulate coordination and cooperation within the European astroparticle community and to prepare future decisions at National and European levels. This roadmap covers the next ten years, with a focus on the next five.

A first version of the document was presented on November 2006 at Valencia in the 1st Roadmap Workshop. Seven thematic working groups were identified to consolidate it with the data concerning funding and human resources, project schedules and objectives, R&D needs for each subject. Within this roadmap, the activities reviewed are broken into five areas, each covered by one chapter:
  • Cosmology and the early Universe
  • Particle Properties
  • Neutrinos as messengers from the Sun, supernovae and the Earth
  • The non-thermal Universe
  • Gravitational Waves
