  Information - ST7 Waves, particles and non-linear processes (co-listed in PS)

Event Information
We cordially invite you to participate in session ST 7: “Waves, Particles and Nonlinear Processes” of the EGU General Assembly 2005 in Vienna Austria 24-29 April 2005.
http://www.copernicus.org/EGU/ga/egu05/index.htm.

Abstract: In situ measurements in heliospheric plasmas provide evidence of a turbulent nature together with the presence of various types of coherent structures. Both play a role in energy transport and dissipation. Plasma waves and their interactions with charged particles is a ubiquitous process that occurs everywhere in our heliosphere from the near-solar region to the Earth’s ionosphere. Although the interactions are “microscopic” in scale, they are often fundamental to important, larger scale “macroscopic” processes. A new and emerging field is the study of the development and evolution of nonlinear plasma waves and turbulence. Nonlinear wave-particle interactions can lead to not only pitch angle and energy diffusion, but also to direct particles acceleration, plasma heating and wave dissipation.

We solicit contributions on new results associated with plasma wave modes, solitons, wave-particle interactions (both linear and nonlinear) and the development of turbulence in space plasmas. The special session provides a forum to present and discuss the latest advances resulting from data analyses, computer simulations and analytical techniques applied to spacecarft data, e.g., Cluster, Ulysses, Polar, FAST, Geotail, etc.

Invited speakers and tentative titles are: A. Demekhov and V. Trakhtengerts: “Chorus emission as nonlinear coherent structures and their role in the acceleration of radiation belt electrons”, T. Passot and P.L. Sulem: "Alfven wave instabilities in collisionless plasmas: generation of coherent structures and turbulence", O. Santolik: “Cluster observations of the source region of whistler mode chorus”, C.T. Russell: “Plasma wave turbulence at Saturn: Cassini”, and R. Treumann: “Modern nonlinear plasma physics”.


Convenors: B. Tsurutani (bruce.tsurutani@jpl.nasa.gov), J. Pickett (pickett@uiowa.edu), G. Lakhina (lakhina@iig.iigm.res.in), and R. Pottelette Raymond.Pottelette@cetp.ipsl.fr.
