From Ghostly Neutrinos to Active Galactic Nuclei: Latest Results in the Field of Astroparticles

9 September 2011

��Recent developments in astroparticle physics are the theme of the international conference, Topics on Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP), which takes place from 5 to 9 September 2011 in Munich. TAUP will address current questions in modern astrophysics and particle physics. For instance, scientists will discuss new measurements from an experiment in which they might get the first direct detection of dark matter particles.

To mark this event, Dr. Bela Majorovits and Dr. Robert Wagner (Max-Planck-Institut f��r Physik), two of the scientific organisers of the TAUP conference, will present ��observations and research results to Caf�� & Kosmos. The Caf�� & Kosmos participants will have the chance to get first-hand ��information on these developments, and ��to discuss them with TAUP experts.

The Caf�� & Kosmos series of discussions is organised jointly by ESO, the Excellence Cluster Universe and the Max-Planck Institutes for Physics, Astrophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics. The discussions take place on the second Tuesday of each month at the Vereinsheim, in Munich. After a brief introduction the scientists take questions from the audience and discuss current issues from the cosmos.

Please note that the Caf�� & Kosmos events take place in German.
