  Scientific Rationale

Among the Asian countries including China, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, there are growing common interests in the budding field of "cosmic particle physics", such as on the following subjects

- acceleration of particles to extreme energies in the shocks of large scale
   structure of the universe

- acceleration of particles to extreme energies in the shocks of jets of very
   powerful radio galaxies, also initiated from the inner edge of an accretion
   disk

- interaction of high energy particles with the cosmic background radiation,
   magnetic field and matter in the intergalactic and interstellar space

- observations of the emission of high energy particles in radio waves,
   infrared, optical, X-rays, gamma-rays or neutrinos

- measurements of high energy particles in airshower arrays or Cerenkov
   telescopes

- in the future, attempt to observe the merging of spinning black holes that
   is often at the origin of extreme activity, with gravitational wave detectors

This workshop subsumes many of these questions under the heading "Origin, propagation and interaction of energetic particles".

Researchers from the Asian countries as well as USA and  Europe will discuss

- how to learn more physics and take more initiatives in this field of modern
   physics, cosmic particle physics

- how to improve the interactions between all of us.

   Topics

- Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays

- Astrophysical sources of cosmic rays

- Propagation of cosmic rays and high energy interactions

- Observation of cosmic rays
