Astroparticle Physics

4 Nov 1999 | Norbert Magnussen
This article reviews recent developments in Astroparticle Physics, covering the search for Dark Matter, Cosmic Rays, and Gamma Ray Astronomy, as well as Neutrino Astronomy. The status of Dark Matter searches is discussed, highlighting the "Dark Problems" of dark baryons, non-baryonic Dark Matter, and Dark Energy. The evidence for Dark Matter is reviewed, including galactic and cluster-scale observations, and the search for both baryonic and non-baryonic Dark Matter candidates. The article also discusses Cosmic Ray measurements at low and high energies, focusing on the upcoming experiments like AUGER, AMS, and PAMELA, and the role of Cosmic Rays in understanding neutrino oscillation parameters and antimatter. Additionally, it covers Gamma Ray Astronomy, including the use of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) to detect extragalactic sources of very high-energy Gamma Rays, and the search for sources of galactic Cosmic Rays. The article concludes with an outlook on future developments in Astroparticle Physics.This article reviews recent developments in Astroparticle Physics, covering the search for Dark Matter, Cosmic Rays, and Gamma Ray Astronomy, as well as Neutrino Astronomy.
