Participation of Armenian physicists in the 32nd International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2011)
The 32nd International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2011) hosted and organized by the Institute of High Energy Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was held in Beijing from August 11 to August 18, 2011. Following the tradition of past International Cosmic Ray Conferences, the ICRC2011
dealt with a broad range of topics, covering cosmic ray physics, gamma-ray astronomy, solar physics and high energy phenomena in terrestrial atmosphere. The key topics were: A. Solar and Heliospheric Phenomena
* Sun and Solar Emissions
* Acceleration and Transport Phenomena in the
Heliosphere
* Galactic and Anomalous Cosmic Rays in the
Heliosphere
* Cosmic Rays at Earth and in Planetary
Environments
B. Cosmic Ray Origin and Galactic Phenomena
* Direct Measurements
* X-ray and Gamma ray observations
C. High Energy Phenomena
* Extensive Air Showers and HE Cosmic Rays
* Muons and Neutrinos
* Interactions, Particle Physics Aspects,
Cosmology
* Sun and Solar Emissions
* Acceleration and Transport Phenomena in the
Heliosphere
* Galactic and Anomalous Cosmic Rays in the
Heliosphere
* Cosmic Rays at Earth and in Planetary
Environments

The YerPhI delegation ( Romen Martirosov, Bagrat Mailyan, Levon Vanyan) presented the following reports: Romen Martirosov : "Energy spectrum and mass composition of primary cosmic radiation in the region above the knee from the GAMMA experiment", Bagrat Mailyan presented two talks: "Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements (TGE-s)" detected at Aragats and "The energy spectra of the thunderstorm correlated electron and gamma ray fluxes measured at Aragats". Levon Vanyan: "Simulations of the Relativistic Runaway Electron Avalanches (RREA) in the thunderclouds above the Aragats space Environmental center (ASEC)".
