Connections in High Energy Astrophysics: A Visitors Grant for Leeds

利兹大学目前参与了高能天体物理学领域的四个主要项目：皮埃尔·奥杰超高能宇宙射线天文台、HESS和VERITAS伽玛射线望远镜以及KM3NeT中微子望远镜。所有这些仪器都旨在扩大我们对宇宙中极端和高能现象的认识。为了充分利用这些仪器，利兹的研究小组需要与来自世界各地的顶尖科学家进行互动和合作。在此，我们请求提供资源，资助理论和实验天体物理学家访问利兹。这些访问将帮助我们充分探索宇宙射线、伽马射线和中微子天体物理学之间的联系，并大大提高我们对实验数据的解释所产生的科学产出。

The University of Leeds is currently involved in four major projects in the field of High Energy Astrophysics: The Pierre Auger ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray observatory, the HESS and VERITAS gamma-ray telescopes and the KM3NeT neutrino telescope. All of these instruments are aimed at expanding our knowledge of extreme and energetic phenomena in the universe. To get the most from these instruments the group in Leeds needs to interact and collaborate with leading scientists from around the world. Here we request resources to fund visits to Leeds by theoretical and experimental astrophysicists. These visits will help us to fully explore the connections between cosmic-ray, gamma-ray and neutrino astrophysics and substantially improve the science output arising from the interpretation of our experimental data.
