Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), the most energetic particles in the universe, are a new messenger that will play a crucial role in the future of multi-messenger astronomy. Due to their extremely high energies, UHECRs are less deflected by the Galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields, offering the potential to trace their arrival directions back to their origin.
This is the 4th workshop for the Global Cosmic Ray Observatory (GCOS) to foster further networkings with researchers and students. We will discuss the latest results and physical interpretations of UHECRs, as well as the current status and future perspectives of GCOS. A major focus will be on exploring the prospects for multi-messenger astronomy after source identification, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
In order to enhance links between researchers and students who will lead future projects, the agenda includes ample time for in-depth discussions. There will also be opportunities to exchange ideas on education and outreach activities using cosmic rays.
The workshop will be broadcastd via Zoom.
