Unification in astroparticle physics — •Wolfgang Rhode1 and Brigitte Falkenburg2 — 1TU Dortmund, Fakultät 2, Experimentelle Physik Vb, 44221 Dortmund — 2TU Dortmund, Fakultät 14, Institut für Philosophie und Politikwissenschaft, 44221 Dortmund
Astroparticle physics makes the bridge between the domains of several physical theories that lack theoretical unification. The models and experiments of astroparticle physics are based on the standard model of particle physics and the standard model of cosmology. The theoretical foundations of these two standard models, namely quantum field theory and general relativty, are incompatible. In addition, models from other parts of physics are employed, i.e., nuclear physics. We will give a few examples of modelling in astroparticle physics and discuss the way in which they are able to unify the small scale and the large scale of physics.
