Scientific rationale:
This 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 call for further investigations. The availability of large datasets from new instrumentation 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 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.
Main Topics:
Observations of energetic particles in the solar, heliospheric, galactic and extragalactic environments
Properties of cosmic ray transport and acceleration from in-situ and remote observations
Solar flares, Crab flares, flaring phenomena in astrophysics
Shock acceleration: problems and advances
Particle acceleration in magnetic reconnection, including the relativistic regimes
Particle acceleration in black holes, accretion flows, and relativistic jets
Transport and acceleration in non-linear regimes
Magnetic turbulence in astrophysical plasmas: properties from large to small scales and effects on particle transport
Theoretical models and numerical simulations of particle transport and acceleration
