6th HERD workshop

26 Mar 2018, 09:00 → 27 Mar 2018, 21:25 Asia/Shanghai

116 (Lecture Hall)

Since the 5th workshop at CERN, DAMPE, ISS-CALET team has released several interesting results, highlighting the scientific needs for further high precision measurements of cosmic ray up to much higher energies and with much larger acceptance. The 6th international workshop on HERD will be held in IHEP, Beijing, China, during March 26-27, 2018. It will focus on: 1)up-to-date progress in observations and theories of space dark matter search, cosmic ray physics, and high energy gamma-ray astronomy; 2) HERD scientific objectives; 3)HERD payload configuration, technical progress, and possible solutions; 4) 2017 test beam results and 2018 test beam; 5) any related scientific and technical subjects.
