The 2nd International Workshop on

THE HIGHEST ENERGY COSMIC RAYS AND THEIR SOURCES

 INR, Moscow


April 14-16, 2005

(just before the Baksan School on Particles and Cosmology)

NEW: PROGRAM WITH LINKS TO PRESENTATIONS

  Preliminary program (pdf)

Long seminars and informal discussions will cover the most recent experimental data on the cosmic rays with energies higher than 1019 eV and their theoretical implications.

The topics will include:
 The program and presentations from the 1st Workshop (2004) may be found on its web site.

Expected: about 40 participants (20 speakers) - both experimentalists from AGASA, Yakutsk, HiRes, Pierre Auger and theoretical astroparticle physicists.

There is no registration fee.
