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.
