Introduction to astroparticle physics

1. The observed universe: cosmological expansion, age of the universe, cosmic microwave background radiation.

2. Dark matter in the Universe. Rotation curves of the galaxies, experiments on detection of dark matter.

3. Astrophysical sources of high-energy gamma quanta and cosmic rays.

4. Pulsars and supernovae. Neutrinos from the supernova SN1987A.

5. High-energy particle acceleration near magnetized neutron stars.

6. Astrophysical black holes: stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes in the nuclei of active galaxies.

7. High-energy particle acceleration and production of cosmic rays by the black holes.

8. Charged cosmic rays: energy flux and composition; origin, acceleration and propagation. Direct detection of cosmic rays: AMS, DAMPE and future experiments. Extensive air showers: composition, longitudinal and lateral profiles. The indirect detection of cosmic rays: the Pierre Auger Observatory.

9. Cosmic photons: production mechanisms and sources; the multiwavelength astronomy. Direct detection of cosmic gamma rays: the Fermi experiment. Indirect detection of cosmic gamma rays: imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and extensive air shower detectors. Current and future experiments

10. Astrophysical neutrinos: production mechanisms and candidate sources. The neutrino astronomy and the neutrino telescopes: KM3NeT and IceCube
