Ultra-high-energy Messengers
The present generation of ground-based cosmic gamma ray observatories will have soon observed almost hundred gamma ray sources allowing us to study the universe in the highest energy electromagnetic radiation observation domain. These results will improve by an order of magnitude with the next generation observatories (CTA/AGIS) and together with the results from the satellite-based Fermi...

Ultra-high-energy Messengers
Kilometer-scale neutrino detectors such as IceCube are discovery instruments covering nuclear and particle physics, cosmology and astronomy. Examples of their multidisciplinary missions include the search for the particle nature of dark matter and for additional small dimensions of space. In the end, their conceptual design is very much anchored to the observational fact that Nature produces...
