Colloquium
Gamma ray Astrophysics: the multimessenger and Canarian connection
Abstract
During the last few decades, we've begun to glimpse the universe not just with photons, but also with other messengers like cosmic rays, neutrinos, and even gravitational waves. I will show why photons, cosmic rays, and neutrinos are fundamentally interconnected—as dark matter may also be—and why very-high-energy gamma rays are a key domain in multi-messenger astronomy. I'll emphasize the role of a few key experiments in the Canary Islands in this field, and discuss some of the latest results that are opening new scientific prospects for the upcoming generation of detectors.

About the speaker
Aquí un breve párrafo con mi trayectoria: PhD at UCM working in cosmic ray physics. Researcher at Max Planck for Physics in Munich and Institut de Física d’Altes Energies in Barcelona. He is currently staff researcher at CIEMAT in Madrid. During the past 30 years he has worked in experiments such as the HEGRA cosmic ray detector and the very high energy gamma ray telescopes HEGRA, MAGIC and CTAO. He served as spokesperson of the MAGIC collaboration and is currently in the management of the CTAO LST collaboration.
