Workshop on Solar System Plasma Turbulence
Abstract
The "International Workshop on Solar System Plasma Turbulence, Intermittency and Multifractals" will be held in Mamaia, Romania, September 6 - 13, 2015, and is being supported locally by the Institute of Space Sciences Institutul de Stiinte Spatiale in Romanian. Note: The applicant uses the Period of Performance dates as July 15 - September 30 "in order to be able to receive funds that would help us to secure the venue and the conference services.The Workshop will be bring together specialists in the theoretical, experimental and numerical investigation of solar system plasmas. As the applicant notes, "... in situ satellite measurements and remote or ground-based observations, turbulence, intermittency and dynamical complexity are dominant processes observed in the dynamics of the Sun and the solar wind." Such investigations of space weather is quite important to the satellites designed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). In January 2014, we arranged for a VSP to support the travel to NRL of a Russian scientist who specializes in space weather and in particular, in plasma turbulence: the NRL sponsor, Dr. Vyacheslav Lukin, has expressed interest in the results of this space plasma turbulence workshop. (Lukin is now running the plasma physics division of NSF, but is still in close contact with NRL.It is worthwhile noting that there are four confirmed speakers from leading US educational and research institutions in the field of plasma physics (MIT, JPL, Johns Hopkins APL, and Princeton). Some 10 other researchers from first-rate universities in Western Europe have also been invited to give presentations.
