| ABSTRACT: |
This is the inaugural conference of the Cosmophysics Group of KEK launched this year. The main purpose is to overview the present status and future prospects of high energy cosmophysics with both cosmophysicists and high energy experimentalists and to gain insights about what KEK can gain from and contribute to high energy cosmophysics.
The main subjects to be discussed at the conference are
Inflation models, unified theories and higher dimensional gravity.
Observational cosmology of the early universe and dark energy, including the CMB and gravitational wave astronomies.
GRBs, AGNs and other high energy astrophysical phenomena related to cosmic jets.
High energy cosmic rays.
