========================================
The field of gamma-ray observations in the energy range between 10 GeV
and 10 TeV developed fast over the last decade.
From the first observation of TeV gamma rays from the Crab nebula using the
atmospheric Cerenkov imaging technique in 1989 [1] to the
discovery of new gamma ray sources with the new...

1. Application context and scientific goals
An accurate measure of the whole sky emission in the frequencies of the microwave
spectrum and in particular of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies can
have crucial implications for the whole Astrophysical community as it permits to
determine a number of fundamental quantities that characterize our Universe, its
origin and...

Oral contribution
The future Magnetic confinement Fusion energy research will be mainly based upon large international
facilities with the participation of a lot of scientist belonging to different institutes. For instance, the large
device ITER (International Tokamak Experimental Reactor) that will be built in Cadarache (France) is
participated by six partners: Europe, Japan, USA, Russia, China, and...

Oral contribution
Plasma heating in magnetic confinement fusion devices can be performed by launching a
microwave beam with frequency in the range of the cyclotron frequency of either ions
or electrons, or close to one of their harmonics. The Electron Cyclotron Resonance
Heating (ECRH) is characterized by the small size of the wavelength that allows one
to study the wave properties using the geometrical...

Oral contribution
Computational optimisations can be found in a wide area of natural, engineering and
economical sciences. They may be carried out by different methods, that include
classical gradient-based, genetic algorithms, etc.
Stellarator facilities optimisation may be noted as an example of such task.
Stellarators are the toroidal devices for magnetic confinement of plasma. In ...

Oral contribution
Geant4 is a general purpose toolkit for simulating the tracking
and interaction of particles through matter. It is currently used
in production in several particle physics experiments (BaBar, HARP,
ATLAS, CMS, LHCb), and it has also applications in other areas,
as space science, medical applications, and radiation studies.
The complexity of the Geant4 code requires careful testing...

Oral contribution
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will start data acquisition in 2007. The ATLAS (A
Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment is preparing for the data handling and analysis
via a series of Data Challenges and production exercises to validate its computing
model and to provide useful samples of data for detector and physics studies. The
last Data Challenge, begun in June 2004 and ended in early...

Oral contribution
The CMS experiment will produce a large amount of data (few PBytes each year) that
will be distributed and stored in many computing centres spread in the countries
participating to the CMS collaboration and made available for analysis to world-wide
distributed physicists.
CMS will use a distributed architecture based on grid infrastructure to analyze data
stored at remote sites, to assure...
