The University of Calabria will host the second edition of the international workshop on ‘Particle acceleration and transport: from the Sun to extragalactic sources’ on 2025 February 3-7.
You are cordially invited to participate.
Scientific rationale:
The workshop aims at presenting recent research on the longstanding problems of particle acceleration and transport in different astrophysical environments, such as the Sun, the heliosphere, galactic sources, and extragalactic sources. The purpose is to bring together experts in the fields of cosmic ray physics, plasma turbulence, acceleration processes, and particle transport, in order to stimulate cross-fertilization and to exchange scientific information among different areas. Indeed, the basic theoretical framework adopted to describe particle acceleration and transport is common to all those fields but the properties of the environments change noticeably.
In addition, in-situ and remote observations often question the validity of the standard theories and prompt for further investigations to be interpreted. The availability of large datasets from new instrumentations and recent theoretical and numerical studies give the opportunity to advance the models and possibly to answer some of the basic unresolved issues. Exchange of ideas among the various fields would certainly speed up this process.
We strongly encourage to present to the different communities recent, pioneering observations, theories, and models that try to explain and describe processes of particle acceleration and transport.
We try to bring together scientists who would like to understand what is happening beyond their field of specialty.
In order to promote an efficient exchange of ideas among different fields, each research area (solar, heliospheric, galactic, and extragalactic physics) will be introduced by a 40 minutes broad review talk.
Invited talks will last 30 minutes. At the end of each day a time slot of about 45 minutes will be dedicated to open discussions on the daily sessions led by a couple of scientists. Contributed talks and poster presentations will be scheduled.
Main Topics:
SOC:
Silvia Perri (Chair, Università della Calabria, Rende, Italy)
Elena Amato (co-Chair,INAF, Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Italy)
Gianfranco Brunetti (IRA-INAF, Bologna, Italy)
Andrei Bykov (Ioffe Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia)
Frederic Effenberger (Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany)
Miho Janvier (European Space Agency (ESA/ESTEC), The Netherlands)
Jasmina Magdalenic Zhukov (KU Leuven, Belgium)
Oreste Pezzi (ISTP-CNR, Italy)
Reinout J. van Weeren (Leiden University, The Netherlands)
Nicole Vilmer (Observatoire Paris-Site de Meudon, France)
Gaetano Zimbardo (Università della Calabria, Rende, Italy)
Registration and abstract submission will be open soon.

DynaSun Network workshop: Waves, Reconnection and Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares
Monday 2nd September – Friday 6th September 2024
Northumbria University (Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST, UK)
https://sites.google.com/view/dynasun2024/
The solar atmosphere is a dynamic system with phenomena including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves, plasma oscillations and time-dependent heating. In Solar Physics, we are now living in the era of data intensive observations and so, with the right techniques and understanding, we can start to address fundamental questions around the physical scenarios of energy releases and plasma heating.
The European Commission has recognised this challenge (and scientific opportunity) and so has created the DynaSun Network: “Dynamics of the solar corona in the era of data intensive observations”. This international network will discuss key challenges in solar physics, including understanding of mechanisms for plasma heating, and energetics and physical scenarios of energy releases such as flares and coronal mass ejections. The first DynaSun Network workshop will be held on 2nd-6th September 2024 at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
This first workshop will focus on waves, oscillations, particle acceleration and reconnection associated with solar flares, and the workshop will consist of contributed and invited talks covering these topics. The workshop will also include tutorials on advanced techniques associated with data intensive observations. The presentations and tutorials will cover the latest research in these areas, including new and exciting observations from the STIX and EUI instruments on-board Solar Orbiter. We also welcome presentations around other relevant research topics. There will be a Welcome Reception, Conference Dinner and Excursion.
