Loops 7 – Heating of the Magnetically Closed Corona, 21-23 July 2015

Loops 7 – Heating of the Magnetically Closed Corona

We are pleased to announce the Seventh Coronal Loops Workshop will be held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK, from the 21 to 23 July 2015.

Registration and Abstract Submission details and deadlines to follow.

The loops workshops are a series of highly focused workshops dealing with the observation and modeling of magnetically confined plasma.
The programme and invited speakers are as follows:

Session 1 – Coronal Heating: Global Active Region Models and Mechanisms

– heating mechanisms: Mahboubeh Asgari-Targhi
– global AR models (visualizations etc.): Ignacio Ugarte-Urra
– beyond hydro or MHD modeling: Tony Arber

Session 2 – Transition Region-Corona Connection

– observations vs theory; chromosphere: Bart De Pontieu
– classical TR vs low lying cool loops: Pia Zacharias
– role of spicules: Tiago Pereira

Session 3 – Fine Scale Structure and Non-equilibrium Processes

– fine-scale structure of loops: Patrick Antolin
– current sheets and turbulence: Bruno Coppi
– diagnostics – developments and limitations: Peter Young
– advances in treating non-equilibrium processes: Jaro Dudík

Session 4 – Wrap-up session

‘What doesn’t match up between theory and observations?’ TBD

The review talks will introduce these topics, highlighting recent progress and unresolved questions. Both observational and theoretical aspects will be covered during each session by contributed talks.

The workshop’s main goal is to encourage discussion among the participants. For this reason the number of talks will be limited, while the poster sessions will be long enough to allow time to view and discuss the others participants’ work. We strongly encourage young researchers to participate.

PLEASE NOTE: Only abstracts directly relevant to the main focus of the workshop will be accepted.
