Solar Flare Physics in the RHESSI Era
A Series of Workshops

Organizing Committee


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.
