The registration fee (covering reception, workshop dinner and coffee
breaks/refreshments)
Standard fee 195 GBP

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.
For details, see the webpage:

1. FIRST X-CLASS FLARE OF CYCLE 24: DID YOU GET IT?
---------------------------------------------------
> From Richard Canfield <canfield (at) physics.montana.edu>
If you do not routinely receive the Max Millennium
Message of the Day (MOTD), then subscribe now at
http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/mmlists.shtml.
On February 13th, subscribers received a heads-up from Max
Millennium Chief Observer (MM_CO) Bill Marquette, in the form
of a MM Major Flare Watch message. Within half an hour of the
issuance of that MOTD, the first of several major flares (M6.6)
took place, followed about two days later by the first X-Class
flare (X2.2) of Solar Cycle 24. During the period 2001-2010,
about 75% of all X flares occurred during MM Major Flare Watches: see
http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/wiki/index.php/Major_Flare_Watch_Evalu….
The current goal of the MM_COs is to call Major Flare Watches
whenever there is a good chance for flares at GOES levels > M5
or so. If there is some way that the MOTD can be used or improved
to enhance your flare observations, whether for a scheduled campaign
or on a target-of-opportunity basis, contact me or any of the MM_COs:
http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/mm_co.shtml.

We would like to introduce UKSP nuggets, monthly short articles
highlighting solar physics research in the UK.
http://www.uksolphys.org/uksp-nuggets/
UKSP nuggets have been published since summer 2010 and this month's
nugget is by Mihalis Mathioudakis and colleagues at Queen's University
Belfast and asks whether we have resolved the smallest photospheric
magnetic elements:

UCL-MSSL is pleased to announce a new Hinode EIS science nugget to
be released on 1 February 2011.
The nugget discusses how a velocity difference method can be used to
determine
the magnetic flux of the solar source region of a magnetic cloud,
written by Prof. Louise Harra.
http://msslxr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk:8080/SolarB/eisnuggets.jsp
Next month's nugget is entitled "EIS full sun monochromatic images".
EIS nuggets are published on the 1st of every month and we welcome
contributions from the community. Please contact Deb Baker if
you are interested.
