Organization of an international conference, chairing its organizing and program committee as well as editorial board for conference proceedings. The aim of TAM2013 was to present multiple aspects of time and matter in all fields of physics, from elementary particles to galactic and cosmological proportions. In the light of the latest experimental results at the CERN's Large Hadron Collider, topics related to the mechanism providing mass to all particles in nature and the related recent discovery of the Higgs boson were covered in detail. Invited lecturers included the Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft. More information available at http://tam.ung.si/

COBISS.SI-ID: 268743424Organization of an international conference, chairing its organizing and program committee as well as editorial board for conference proceedings. The aim of the conference was to present the interrelations between the forefront of investigations in diverse realms of the physical world (from elementary particle physics to cosmology) to get a better grasp of the "Big Picture" of the concepts of time and matter in fundamental physics.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 256448768In this work the prospects of cosmic ray astronomy in general and possibilities for particles originating from the galactic center and active galactic nuclei are investigated numerically by integrating trajectories of incoming cosmic rays backwards in time, in different models of the galactic magnetic field. In principle it is concluded that cosmic ray astronomy is possible for cosmic protons with energies of 10 EeV and above.
D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 1327099The aim of this dissertation was to study atmospheric properties using combined remote sensing techniques and in-situ measurements. The main remote sensing tools used in the scope of this dissertation were GPS monitors, radiosondes, Raman lidar and ground based meteorological stations measuring temperature, pressure and humidity. As a part of this dissertation, two dedicated GPS monitors were deployed at two University of Nova Gorica campuses, and a part covers uncertainty effects in extensive air shower data of the Pierre Auger Observatory caused by positioning errors of the SD detectors.
D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 2955003Recent results from the Pierre Auger Observatory are presented, focusing on a measurement of the cosmicray energy spectrum above 10 [sup]18 eV, cosmic ray composition, and the anisotropy in the cosmic ray arrival directions. The flux suppression at highest energies is consistent with the predictions of GZK cutoff. Longitudinal development of cosmic ray air showers provides information on the mass of the primary particle. When compared to model predictions, our measurements of the mean and spread of the longitudinal position of the shower maximum are indicating a composition transition from light to heavier with increasing energy. For highest energies in our dataset we observe evidence for a correlation between the cosmic ray arrival directions and the nearby extragalactic objects.
