Status of astroparticle physics — •Julia Becker — Institutionen för Fysik, Göteborgs Universitet

The field of astroparticle physics is currently developing rapidly due to the interplay of new experimental results and new theories for the emission mechanisms of Cosmic Rays. In this talk, the current status of astroparticle physics is reviewed in the context of the field’s historical development. In particular physics implications of the newest experimental results for charged Cosmic Rays, high-energy photons, neutrinos and antimatter are presented.
