Purpose:

For the purpose of radiography, recent developments in muon and neutrino detectors make it possible to detect the muon and neutrino particles with high statistics and therefore in great detail. Because of their relevance for a variety of related fields of research, neutrino and muon physics will be a major focus in geophysical research. It is likely that several crucial questions concerning geodynamics and related fields such as volcanology and tectonics will be answered. The successful operation of such detectors, therefore, may very well represent the birth of a new technique for the study of fundamental issues in these fields.

The International Workshop on High Energy Earth Science will be devoted to addressing the main current issues in this research area to form a research network aimed at fostering scientific collaboration on neutrino physics, muon phyics, positron physics and geophysics. The purpose of the workshop is to review recent developments in muon and neutrino radiography design, the associated R&D program, and the evolving geophysical program that motivates high energy earth science.
