Dear All

We would like to remind you that an online science meeting on "Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares and the Plasma Universe" will be held during November 15-19, 2021.

This meeting is open to everyone who is interested in particle energization in space, solar, and astrophysical plasma environments. It is driven by the recent development of a next generation solar X-ray/gamma-ray mission named “PhoENiX” (to be proposed to JAXA for a launch slot in early 2030s). While this mission is designed to study particle acceleration and heating in solar flares, we wish to have interdisciplinary discussions because we believe the scientific results of the PhoENiX mission will make a significant impact not only on solar physics but also on space physics and astrophysics. Examples of invited talks include “multi-wavelength observations of solar flares”, “roles of magnetic reconnection in high-energy phenomena in different plasma environments”, and “theory and simulations of particle acceleration and fundamental plasma processes”.

The meeting will be held during November 15-19, 2021 as a virtual, online-only event. The deadline for the abstract is 23:59 JST on October 19, 2021 while registration is open until November 15. For more information, please check the workshop website: https://indico.ipmu.jp/event/395/

Best regards Mitsuo (on behalf of SOC)
