Glasgow Travel and Accommodation
--------------------------------
The city airport is served by several transatlantic carriers and several
direct European connections while nearby Prestwick supports various
transatlantic charter companies. There are fast and frequent direct air,
rail, and coach
services to London, Manchester and other UK destinations. Early April
precedes the main holiday and conference season, so accommodation should
be fairly readily available in all price ranges. A list of hotels and
B&Bs within walking distance and booking information, plus local travel
and tourism information is available at the webpage.

Meeting Arrangements
--------------------
RHESSI XI will continue the series of RHESSI workshops but it also marks
40 years since the publication of Prof. John Brown's thick-target model
paper which has since been the standard approach to interpret solar
flare hard X-ray spectra.

The workshop will focus on topics/problems related to the understanding
of energetic particles in solar flares. The workshop will have five
groups covering a wide range of topics broadly related to thick-target
model interpretation of solar flares. Up to three working group sessions
will be run in parallel. The group topics have been designed with
distinct agendas but also with some overlap to facilitate joint
sessions. Considerable cross team flux, short of chaos, will be encouraged.

All groups encourage contributions on theory, simulations, observations
and RHESSI instrumental/software issue. We discourage contributions
unrelated to the working group agendas.
