IceCube has been completed in December 2010. It forms a lattice of 5160 photomultiplier tubes monitoring a gigaton of the deep Antarctic ice for particle induced photons. The telescope is primarily designed to detect neutrinos with energies greater than 100 GeV from astrophysical sources. Besides this astrophysical motivation IceCube is also a discovery instrument for the search for physics...

ANTARES is an underwater telescope designed to search for high-energy neutrinos originating from extra-terrestrial sources.
The detection principle relies on the observation of Cherenkov light emitted along the path of the charged leptons resulting from charged current neutrino interactions.
The detector is a 3-dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes,
arranged on twelve vertical lines...

Combining data from the recently launched Fermi satellite with TeV observations of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and low-energy observations has improved our understanding of the sources of high-energy radiation as well as of the conditions in the intergalactic space. After a brief introduction, I show that the non-observation of some TeV blazars in the GeV range by the Fermi satellite lead...

The Pierre Auger Observatory is measuring the ultra-high energy cosmic ray extended air showers with unprecedented sensitivity. Recent results will be reported, including measurements of the spectrum and anisotropies studies at the highest energies. These results will be discussed together with the latest composition estimations from the measurement of the depth of shower maximum by the...

The Telescope Array(TA) experiment, located in the western desert of
Utah, USA, at $39.3^{\circ}$ north and $112.9^{\circ}$ west, is designed
for observation of air showers from extreme high energy cosmic rays. The
experiment has a Surface Detector (SD) array surrounded by three
Fluorescence Detectors (FD) to enable simultaneous detection of shower
particles at ground level and...
