3. SHINE 2017 Session “What are the Energy Partition and Dominant Energy Transport Mechanisms Associated with Magnetic Reconnection for Different Heliospheric Plasmas?”: Call for Abstracts

We would like to draw your attention to the session “What are the Energy Partition and Dominant Energy Transport Mechanisms Associated with Magnetic Reconnection for Different Heliospheric Plasmas?” to be held at this year’s SHINE Workshop (shinecon.org/CurrentMeeting.php, Saint-Sauveur, Quebec, Canada, July 24-28, 2017). 

This session aims to bring the solar, in situ, and laboratory heliophysics communities together to discuss the energy partition during magnetic reconnection. Questions of particular interest include:

-- How well does the energy partition predicted by current theory and simulations (particle and fluid) compare to observations? What are the observational signatures of various energy transport mechanisms? 

-- How does the energy partition change with time during a reconnection event, as energy is transported outward from the reconnection region?  

-- Are the dominant energy transport mechanisms similar throughout the heliosphere, or do different processes dominate in the coronal, laboratory, or magnetospheric environment?

We welcome poster presentations as well as participation in the discussion (Wednesday morning, July 26). Our invited scene-setting speakers will provide reviews on observations and theory and also guide the open discussion, which is expected (and indeed hoped) to be the central part of the session. Those who wish to make (or refute) a particular point may bring one slide that can be quickly put up on the main projector, if relevant to the ongoing discussion.

Poster presentations will be on display during the whole week. The abstract deadline for poster presentations is June 23rd. We encourage your participation and hope that you will share this announcement with colleagues. 

Conveners: Maria Kazachenko, Benjamin Lynch, Nick Murphy, Lucas Tarr, Silvina Guidoni
