18. Planck-scale effects on propagation of high-energy particles

Prof. Giovanni Amelino-Camelia (University of Rome "La Sapienza")

One of the subjects that has been most studied over the last decade from a quantum-gravity perspective concerns the implications of Planck-scale effects on the propagation of high-energy particles. From the crude models of the end of the 1990s the literature gradually evolved to more detailed and robust pictures, which I briefly describe. I also stress the relevance of these studies for...

45. GRB models of GWHEN emission

Prof. Peter Mészáros (Pennsylvania State University)

18/05/2009 16:15

I will discuss models of GRB in the light of recent Fermi and Swift data, and the implications of these for GRB as potential gravitational wave and ultra-high energy neutrino sources.

47. Prospects for gravitational waves and neutrino emission from Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters and Anomaolous X-ray Pulsars

Dr SANDRO MEREGHETTI (INAF-IASF MILANO)

18/05/2009 17:00

I will review the observational properties of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters and Anomaolous X-ray Pulsars and discuss them in the context of the magnetar model. I will also discuss the possibility of detecting GW and high energy neutrinos from these sources.
