===== SECOND CIRCULAR ===== August 30, 2002
International Symposium
"The Universe Viewed in Gamma-rays
--- Univ. Tokyo Workshop 2002 ---"
September 25-28, 2002, Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan
(Visit the Symposium Website:

where this circular with information links is available.)
[[[ Outline ]]]
"The Universe viewed in gamma-rays ---The University of Tokyo
Workshop 2002---" will be held on September 25-28, 2002 in
Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss
the new views of the universe grasped mainly in the rapidly
developing high energy gamma-ray astrophysics in the energy range
above 10 GeV. New ground-based observatories of very high energy
gamma-rays are being built, energy threshold are being lowered, and
stereoscopic observations with new telescopes will be started soon.
The symposium will cover observational and theoretical aspects of
Galactic and extragalactic sources of gamma-rays which contribute
to the existence of nonthermal particles in the universe.
Information of the photons in other energy regime is mandatory to
uncover the secret of very high energy phenomena in the universe
and multiwavelength campaigns will be also. This symposium is
hosted by ICRR, University of Tokyo and sponsored by the Ministry
of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.
