DESCRIPTION:Something in the Universe is bombarding us with incredibly ene
 rgetic particles and radiations\, energies extending to well beyond those 
 obtained with the Earth's most powerful accelerators. Do these radiations 
 come from unknown\, extremely violent cosmic explosions?\nFrom huge black 
 holes? From rapidly spinning neutron stars? Or from the decay of massive r
 elics dating back to the first moments after the Big Bang? Can they explai
 n the missing matter\, the 'Dark Matter' of the Universe? These high-energ
 y radiations can be the messengers of cosmic objects where extreme magneti
 c fields\, densities\, temperatures and gravitation rule. They can be evid
 ence of yet unknown particles that no Earth's laboratory is capable to pro
 duce.\nTo detect these energetic but luckily very rare radiations\, detect
 ors are built deep under ice or water\, deployed to cover thousands of squ
 are kilometres of dessert areas. Telescopes are pointed to track the faint
  light left by the cosmic showers in the Earth's atmosphere. Several hundr
 eds of scientists work in harsh environments\, in the South Pole\, on the 
 Pampa of Argentina\, in Namibian desert. Wild animals\, spiders and snakes
  are witnessing their struggle in constructing detectors\, which up to now
  could be imagined only by science fiction writers.\nThe efforts of scient
 ists are being paid off. Data from the detectors are already being analyse
 d and first results being published\, promising of a new and exciting Phys
 ics. The rapidly expanding research field of High Energy Astroparticle Phy
 sics has shown its potential and major discoveries can be expected in the 
 near future.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/806/
