Description
Séminaire Lapp/Lapth
 
The unprecedented precision of data coming from space challenges our understanding of the origin and the behaviour of particles arriving fromspace.
The interpretation of these data is stimulating a very rich and active
debate in the astroparticle community, with strong discovery and
constraining potentials on many topics such as dark matter, acceleration and transport of cosmic rays, Galactic sources. However, the consensus in the community is that these interpretations are limited by nuclear cross-section uncertainties. We will present a road map to close the most urgent cases by accelerator campaigns undertaken at facilities or experiments for ongoing and future cross-section measurements.
