Concluding remarks

Concluding remarks

• The physics case is strong and it has large
  complementarity to other astroparticle detectors
• The way to a final design for the northern
  hemisphere From HENAP through APPEC and the EU?
• A final thought on astroparticle physics

Connecting the quarks to the cosmos 11 science
questions for the new centuryreport of US
National Research Council Board on Physics and
Astronomy

• 1) What is dark matter?
• 2) What is dark energy?
• 3) How were the heavy elements from iron to
  uranium made?
• 4) Do neutrinos have mass?
• 5) What is the origin of cosmic rays?
• 6) Is a new theory of light and matter needed to
  explain what happens at very high E and T?
• 7) Are there new states of matter at ultrahigh T
  and r?
• 8) Are protons unstable?
• 9) What is gravity?
• 10) Are there additional dimensions?
• 11) How did the universe begin?

Physics case I, dark matter a large area of
complementary searches
O.1 KM2 AMANDA,BAIKAL, ANTARES,NESTOR 2005/2006
EDELWEISS,ZEPLIN CDMS 2005
LHC 2007
Towards 2008-2010 what will be the DM Potential
of Icecube, KM3?
GLAST, AMS 2006
HESS,MAGIC, VERITAS, CANGAROO 2004
Can we fix Wdark matter to 0.25 and see the
complementarity better?
4
Physics case II, understanding the cosmic rays,
and violent phenomena (AGN, microquasar, GRB,...)
O.1 KM2 AMANDA,BAIKAL, ANTARES,NESTOR 2005?
AUGER 2005
Detecting or not detecting neutrinos equally
important For understanding CR though less fun
GLAST, AMS 2006
HESS,MAGIC, VERITAS, CANGAROO 2004
A dream can we understand the GRB s so as to
make them a standard candle?
5
Physics case III, New very heavy objects, in
unification physics, extra dimensions,topological
defects, zbursts etc
O.1 KM2 AMANDA,BAIKAL, ANTARES,NESTOR 2005?
AUGER 2005
SK and what comes next (UNOlike)
neutrino oscillation physics (AUGER, UNO,
ANTARES)
A shot in the dark but usually easier signatures

The road for a final design in the Mediterranean

• Neutrino telescope designs are around more than
  30 years (DUMAND)
• Or 100 years (Picasso design 1909)
• Or is it 400 years? See for instance
   Brouillon projet d une atteinte aux evenements
  des rencontres d un plan avec un cone  (1639,
  Girerd Desargues) ( how and when a cube will
  capture cones  rediscovery or cryptomnesis?)
• What is different in a telescope design?
• Living things, radioactivity
• Corrosion, pressure
• Water tightness
• Power problems

The road to a Km3 in the Mediterranean

• HENAP report gt the physics case strong
  (complementary to IceCube, pointing, covering the
  galactic center) need only one in NH, to be based
  on existing/forthcoming experience
• ApPEC evaluation of the site criteria. Work along
  three axes
• Long term stability of measurements
• Current deployments full of lessons to be used in
  the design. Exploit current data (antares,
  baikal, nestor)
• Software benchmark detectors to be tested in
  different sites
• A design study submitted to the EU by Mars
  2004?
• TDR by 2007?

But be carefull the KM3 is part of a  second
wave  of astroparticle detectors. Unitarity
limits are hit
Shopping list 1) super Cerencov Telescope 2)
Euro DarkMatter 4) Post Auger (EUSO in
space probably different sources) 5) Euro
GravitationalWave 6) KM3 7) Neutrino megatonne
PPARC roadmap
20-25 Meuros/y available in Europe for
astroparticle The above program has to bid for
large infrastructure funds

• We need to interest strongly
• astrophysicists (CT et DM did it)
• marine biologists,
• environmental scientists,
• industrial interests,

ESONET?
9
Do not forget innovative and cheap(?) methods

• Radio detection
• Theory?
• Reconstructing the pulse
• Acoustic detection

Neutrino telescopes are the prototype of the
coming together of the two quests this of
astrophysics and that of elementary particle
physics

• History is an epic poem, coming out of Gods
  spirit. Its two principal parts are the
  part that represents humanitys departure from
  its center and its progression up to the most
  distant point, and the part that represents its
  return to the center from this point. We can
  compare the first to the Iliad and the other to
  Odyssey. Shelling, Essays

Iliad is the name of the APPEC proposal for
large infrastructures to the EU that contains
NT RD
