TeV Unidentified Sources Workshop
June 4 - 5, 2008
This will be a focused workshop on "Understanding the Nature and Multiwavelength/Multimessenger Characteristics of TeV Unidentified Objects." The Center for Particle Astrophysics will host this workshop on the Penn State University Park campus. The number of people attending will be kept small to foster an intimate working environment with open discussion.
The workshop will be aimed at leading to teams of people working on:
- Theory/modeling framework and firm predictions regarding the multiwavelength and multimessenger properties of a variety of potential TeV unidentified source classes, and
- Follow-up observations and strategies with a variety of instruments (existing and near-term) to discriminate between different source class possibilities.
Workshop Talks
Slides from the workshop talks are now available.
Workshop Program and Participants
The Tev UnID Sources workshop program and list of participants is now available.
Workshop Location
The workshop will be held in 102 Chemistry Building which is less than 5 minutes from the Physics and Astronomy departments. The Chemistry building is a 10-15 minute walk from the Atherton Hotel.
Information on how to reach State College is available.
A variety of maps of Penn State and State College is also available.
Registration
There is no registration fee. However, it is important that all participants register. The discussion format requires us to limit the total number of participants. Therefore early registration is highly recommended.
