Plasma Mini-Workshop at UCI

Due to a fortunate timing of visits, Prof. Tajima was able to host and organize an informal mini-workshop titled “Plasma Astrophysics and Extreme High Energies” on February 6, 2017 at the University of California, Irvine.

A total of nine talks were given by profs. Steven Barwick, Franklin Dollar, Jonathan Feng, Toshiki Tajima (UCI); profs. Toshikazu Ebisuzaki, Akira Mizuta (RIKEN); and profs. Alexander Kusenko (UCLA) and Greg Howes (U Iowa, sabbatical at UCLA). In chronological order, the presentations are listed below.

• 1. Plasma mini-workshop opening remarks — Tajima, Toshiki

      

  2. Astronomical ZeV acceleration in the relativistic jet from an accreting supermassive blackholes — Ebisuzaki, Toshikazu

      

  3. High energy neutrino telescopes — Barwick, Steven
     
     
  4. TA hotspot, M82, and other hints of UHECR sources — Kusenko, Alexander

      

  5. General Relativistic MHD simulation of a blackhole, accretion disk, and jets — Mizuta, Akira

      

  6. Diagnosing Plasma Heating and Particle Acceleration in Space and Astrophysical Plasmas — Howes, Greg

      

  7. EUSO (extreme universe space observatory) — Ebisuzaki, Toshikazu

      

  8. The Beryllium anomaly and dark compton scattering — Feng, Jonathan

      

  9. Possibility of simultaneously observing gamma ray bursts and gravitational wave emission from Blazars — Tajima, Toshiki

      

  10. Thin film compression and applications to high energies — Dollar, Franklin
