The workshop will take place over roughly two and half days and comprise invited review talks (25min + 5min), contributed talks (17min + 3min) and several informal discussion sessions. A programme will be posted on this website. The invited talks will review results in the fields of ground-based gamma-ray, cosmic-ray and neutrino astronomy, and cover the high energy astrophysics of supernova remnants, plerions, and other sources that are known or thought to accelerate particles to the knee and beyond. It is our aim that all talks have some focus on issues at higher energies, E>10 TeV, as they will set the scene for informal discussions concerning future ground-based detectors. For the informal discussion sessions, everyone is invited to partipate in the debate of several key questions/issues that are important for future ground-based gamma-ray detectors operating in the E>10 TeV regime. While some of these questions are known, further questions will also arise from the talks at the meeting and it is our aim to use such sessions (presently forseen at about 6 hrs) for this purpose.
All talks 25mins + 5 mins questions
