The primary goals of the CALET mission include investigating possible nearby sources of high energy electrons\, studying the details of galactic partic le propagation and searching for dark matter signatures. During a two-year mission\, extendable to five years\, the CALET experiment will measure th e flux of cosmic-ray electrons (including positrons) to 20 TeV\, gamma-ray s to 10 TeV and nuclei with Z=1 to 40 to 1000 TeV.\nThe instrument consis ts of two layers of segmented plastic scintillators for the cosmic-ray cha rge identification (CHD)\, a 3 radiation length thick tungsten-scintillati ng fiber imaging calorimeter(IMC) and a 27 radiation length thick lead-tun gstate calorimeter (TASC). CALET has sufficient depth\, imaging capabiliti es and excellent energy resolution to allow for a clear separation between hadrons and electrons and between charged particles and gamma rays. The p ayload is being prepared for launch on Aug. 16th\, 2015 to the ISS with HTV-5 (H-II Transfer Vehicle5) and installed on the Japanese Experiment Mo dule-Exposed Facility (JEM-EF). \nWe will have the first report of the CAL ET observations on the ISS.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/ contributions/862/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/862/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Invited Talk: The Extragalactic Gamma-ray sky DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T010000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151027T013000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261013T225847Z UID:indico-contribution-240-918@indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Paolo Giommi (ASI Science Data Center\, INAF\, Italy )\nOur knowledge of the extragalactic gamma-ray sky is evolving very rapid ly as new data becomes available.\nI will present recent results on the ga mma-ray emission from extragalactic sources based on the latest Fermi-LAT catalogs (3FGL-3LAC and 2FHL)\, on new large samples of multi-frequency se lected gamma-ray and VHE emitting blazars (1WHSP and 2WHSP)\, and from ext ensive Monte-Carlo simulations of gamma-ray surveys of blazars.

The source populations remain unidentified\, and other expecte d astrophysical high-energy neutrinos\, such as those from the GZK process \, remain undetected. Details of the energy spectrum and flavor compositi on also are yet to be understood. The next generation of neutrino observa tories will shed light on these and other questions. Large-scale ice and w ater arrays will instrument from 10 to 100 square kilometers with optical and/or radio detector elements to detect the Cherenkov and Askaryan radiat ion from neutrino interactions. Other novel approaches include large ball oon-borne detectors\, or searching for tau neutrino conversion in adjacent mountains.

Applying the same technique to the Milky Way\, a spir al itself\, is much more challenging due to our peculiar position and thus the Galactic distribution of dark matter remains poorly constrained to th is day. In this talk\, I shall introduce two important developments for dy namical studies of the Milky Way. First\, a new compilation of kinematic m easurements is presented and used to pinpoint with unprecedented precision the rotation curve of our Galaxy. Second\, an exhaustive array of observa tion-based baryonic models is constructed to set the contribution of stell ar bulge\, stellar disc and gas to the total gravitational potential. I wi ll then quantify the discrepancy between these two components and derive t he latest constraints on the dark matter distribution. The implications fo r modified Newtonian dynamics are also briefly examined. I shall end with a discussion of future directions to improve our mapping of the dark matte r distribution in the Milky Way.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/even t/23/contributions/925/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/925/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Invited Talk: Indirect DM searches DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T003000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T010000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261013T225847Z UID:indico-contribution-240-931@indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Keith Bechtol (University of Wisconsin-Madison)\nMan y dark matter (DM) models predict that DM in a broad range of astrophysica l settings could annihilate or decay into Standard Model particles at rate s that would be detectable by contemporary telescopes and cosmic-ray exper iments.

The na ture of DM is totally unknown. One attractive candidate put forward by the ory is a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)\, which could be a the rmal relic of the Big Bang. The supersymmetric extension of the standard m odel provides one of the major candidates for DM. With this consideration\ , worldwide experimental efforts to detect WIMPs have been made and future large-scale projects are currently planned. However\, no positive evidenc e of supersymmetric particles was observed in the large hadron collider ex periments so far. This strengthens the interest in investigating a broad r ange of DM candidate. In this talk\, future projects to search for standar d WIMPs and experimental approaches to study various types of dark matter candidates are discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/co ntributions/932/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/932/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Invited Talk: Status of Direct dark Matter Search DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T010000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T013000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261013T225847Z UID:indico-contribution-240-933@indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bruno Serfass (University of California Berkeley)\nh ttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/933/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/933/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Invited Talk: Gravitational wave status of searches DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151030T001500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151030T004500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261013T225847Z UID:indico-contribution-240-934@indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Samaya Nissanke (Radboud University\, Nijmegen)\nhtt ps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/934/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/934/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Invited Talk: Particle physics beyond Higgs DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T234500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151030T001500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261013T225847Z UID:indico-contribution-240-935@indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Hitoshi Murayama (Institute for the Physics and Math ematics of the Universe\, University of Tokyo)\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-toky o.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/935/ LOCATION: URL:https://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/contributions/935/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Invited talk: Results from the Telescope Array experiment\, Hot sp ots and anisotropy DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T023000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151029T030000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261013T225847Z UID:indico-contribution-240-938@indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Toshiyuki Nonaka (Institute for Cosmic Ray Reseach U niversity of Tokyo)\nThe Telescope Array (TA) experiment is located in the western desert of Utah\, USA\, and observes ultra high energy cosmic rays in the northern hemisphere.
