This is the first Padova Excellence School on the Physics of the Universe, organized by the Department of Physics and Astronomy (DFA) of the University of Padova.
The goal of this first edition is to offer graduate students and young researchers an updated and comprehensive view of MultiMessenger Astrophysics, Astronomy and Cosmology.
The recent years were marked by huge advancements in this field, with breakthrough results such as the detection of gravitational waves, also in correspondence with photons, as well as the simultaneous observation of photons with a 300 TeV neutrino from an active galaxy.
The foundations of high energy astroparticle physics are shaken and new theoretical buildings are raised. These new conditions call for focused experimental and theoretical efforts, with careful planning of multi-wavelength and multi-messenger coordinated observation.
This school aims to provide the skills for this mission, in particular the cosmological, astronomical and particle physics background needed to be protagonist in this discussion.
The school will be organized with key lectures, plus a series of topical lectures and seminars. Guided exercises and hands-on sessions will take place throughout the school. A night of sky observations with the Asiago optical telescope is foreseen, weather permitting.
The school will be concluded with a final exam for evaluation. In case of a positive result of the exam, the school will assign a diploma with 6 Formative Credits (CFU).
