General Workshops: The purpose
of this workshop series is to bringing together scientists to explore topics in
solar flare physics in a coordinated manner. The emphasis will be on
topics that can be addressed with the RHESSI mission, launched on February 5,
2002. For more details on the RHESSI mission, see the sites at http://hessi.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/hessi/.
Topical Workshops: In between the
general workshops, participants will be encouraged to hold and/or attend smaller
"topical" workshops. These workshops will permit participants to
participate in small-group discussion of problems of common interest, built upon
and motivated by the research activities of group members. Although we do
not envisage the workshops as "data analysis workshops," facilities will be
provided to enable participants to perform hands-on data analysis, using both
RHESSI data and data from supporting instrumentation, during the workshop if
required. The results from the topical workshops will be reported at the
general workshops and used for review, assessment and planning of ongoing
studies in identified areas. We expect the goals of the general workshop
series to evolve from a primarily "data analysis" mode in the early stages to a
more "scientific results" oriented focus later in the series.
