| Popis: | During the last century, many Italian scientists were leaders both in high-energ y physics and in space research. Continuing in this tradition, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) defined high-energy astrophysics as a cornerstone of its scientific program. Starting from the successful BeppoSAX, which provided a major contribute in solv ing the GRBs puzzle, during the next decade a number of missions promoted and/or supported by ASI will address several topics in particle and fundamental physics: XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, AGILE, AMS, GLAST, Swift and others. Just when ground-based accelerators seem to lack the power to investigate the very-high-energy sector of matter and radiation, space could become the proper laboratory for studying the fundamental laws of nature. |
