Outline:
The workshop series will consist of a series of general
workshops, held approximately annually.
Participants will be organized into working groups, with each team aimed
at addressing specific problems in high-energy solar flare physics. The five teams, and the respective team leaders
and e-mails, are:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Gordon Holman |

|
Ion
Acceleration and Interaction |
Gerry Share/Jim Miller |
|
|
Stephen

|
|
|
Lyndsay
Fletcher |
|
|
| Theoretical Implications | Loukas Vlahos | vlahos@astro.auth.gr |
Topics to be covered by the
various teams include, but are not limited to:
Electron acceleration and propagation – location and spectrum of accelerated electrons, physics of electron transport, interpretation of RHESSI spectroscopy, imaging spectroscopy and polarization data.
Ion
acceleration and interaction –
location, energy and angular spectra of accelerated ions, interaction
with solar atmosphere, abundance determination and related physics.
Correlative hard X-ray and Radio
Studies – synthesis and intercomparison
of hard X-ray and radio data (e.g., spectra, images, temporal
profiles) in order to identify issues pertinent to electron acceleration
and transport.
Multi-Wavelength Correlative Studies – Synthesis and intercomparison of data from various ground- and space-based observatories
Theoretical Implications - Development of theoretical models for energy release and transport, guided by results from the other groups
Participation
in the workshop series is by invitation only.
To enquire about participation, contact the appropriate
member of the Organizing Committee.
It should be expressly understood by participants that
the key to success of this workshop series lies in collaborative
efforts undertaken by participants in between the formal workshops.
The main purpose of the workshops is to foster collaborative
studies of specific events, or of specific scientific problems.
