Cosmic rays, astrophysical turbulence and magnetic reconnection

Workshop | Mon, Dec 05, 2016 | Fri, Dec 09, 2016
Directors:
Jose Renan de Medeiros (Department of Physics, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal Brazil)
Alexander Lazarian (University of Wisconsin)

The goal of the meeting is to bring the theorists and observers together in oder to outline new approaches to a wide range of astrophysical problems that involve the propagation and acceleration of cosmic rays, astrophysical turbulence and reconnection.  The astrophysical problems that are going to be deal with include the physical processes in clusters of galaxies, interstellar media, astrophysical jets etc. The focus of the discussions will be the nature of the fundamental physical processes underlying astrophysical phenomena and the ways of observationaly testing them.

Conference will feature talks and posters.
