International Cosmic Ray Conference

The International Cosmic Ray Conference, or ICRC, is a physics conference organized biennially by the Commission C4 (Astroparticle Physics) of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) since 1947, where physicists from the whole world present the results of their research in Astroparticle Physics. The main topics of Astroparticle Physics are

  • Cosmic Ray Physics,
  • Gamma-Ray Astronomy,
  • Neutrino Astronomy,
  • Dark Matter Physics,
  • Solar and Heliospheric Physics,
  • Astroparticle Physics Theory and Models and
  • Experimental Methods, Techniques and Instrumentation.

As part of the opening ceremonies, The O'Ceallaigh Medal is presented to a researcher who has made distinguished contributions to Cosmic Ray Physics.[1]

Proceedings are published for each conference. Some are, partially or in full, available online (see external links). The NASA's Astrophysics Data System (ADS) has started to gather these proceedings in order to scan them and publish them online on the ADS webserver.
