THE EUROPEAN SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
The Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) covers Community
activities in the field of research, technological development
for the period 2002 to 2006
In the contest of FP6 , new call for proposals:
INTEGRATING ACTIVITIES implemented as
INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVES (I3)
Structuring European Research Area
Deadline 3 March 2005
2
Requirements
An I3 (Integrated Infrastructure Initiatives ) requires 3
components:
• Networking (science driven)
• Joint Research Activities (JRA) (technology
driven)
• Trans-national Access (TA) (support access to
real and virtual research structures)
3
• The objectives of the networking activities will be
expressed in terms of, e.g. a better co-operation among
participants, better inter-operability of facilities, improved
intercomparability of results, better connectivity (travel,
exchanges, joung researcher formation ...)
• The objectives for transnational access will be expressed
in terms of providing adequate access to a number of
infrastructures (real and/or virtual).
• The objective of a joint research project will be
expressed in terms of, e.g. instrumentation development or
other technical achievements. Specific deliverables will take
the form of reports, publications, designs, prototypes, etc.

High Energy Astroparticle Physics Network
The HEAPNET proposal
Astroparticle Physics basic physics motivations:
Obtain a coherent view of science questions concerning
the Universe evolution mechanisms leading to the
understanding of Cosmic Rays origin, composition,
acceleration and propagation, and the possibility of
explore New Physics phenomena beyond the EW scale
Necessity to correlate experimental and theoretical
results involving different cosmic messenger :
• High Energy Gamma Rays
• Neutrinos
• Charged and Neutral Cosmic Rays
5
Involved Community:
This European proposal concerns the following
experiments and projects:
- Gamma Rays: AGILE, ARGO, AMS (γ), GLAST, HESS,
MAGIC, PAMELA(γ);
- Neutrinos: AMANDA/ICECUBE, ANTARES, NEMO,
NESTOR ;
- Cosmic Rays: AMS, AUGER, KASCADE-Grande,
EUSO, PAMELA.
The understanding of the physics issues of this
proposal requires a close collaboration between
experimentalists and theoreticians.

The Gamma Ray part of the Proposal
(under construction)
Areas of synergy :
Coordinate Gamma-Ray observations among themselves:
• Observation and measurement of gamma rays across
many different energy ranges with ground and space
based detectors
Correlate γ observations with ν and CR observations.
9
Objectives and expected impact:
• Observation and measurement of gamma rays
across many different energy ranges with ground
and space based detectors. Multi-wavelengths
programs including X-rays (INTEGRAL, HESS,
MAGIC, VERITAS).
• Correlate observations from southern and
northern hemispheres (HESS and MAGIC, but also
VERITAS) and space experiments.
• Combination of space (AGILE/GLAST/AMS) and
ground observations (ARGO, HESS, MAGIC,
VERITAS).
• Develop observation methods for transient
sources: alert systems and combination of space
(AGILE/GLAST/AMS) and ground observations
(HESS, MAGIC).
• Evaluate potential discovery and physics outcome.
10
Description of work:
Multiwavelength (MW) studies are intimately related to
essentially all the astrophysical topics of gamma-ray
astrophysics. All of the gamma-ray observations will
require observational programs at other wavelengths to
extract their full value.
We envision three types of multiwavelength study:
i) identification of sources in known classes, such as blazars
and pulsars,
ii) discovery of new sources classes,
iii) intensive, MW explorations of the brightest and most
variable sources that will allow deep study of the source
physics.
11
Milestones:
after 18 months :
i) Definition of a Coordination between ground and
space gamma ray observatories
ii) Definition of a Coordination between existing MW
programs, such as WEBT, ENIGMA, REM, and space
and ground gamma-ray observations.
12
Transnational Access (TA)
Access to and exchange of data, e.g.:
• a ( web-based) database of astro-particle
observations and the exchange of inter disciplinary
data
• sharing of Computer modeling and simulations
