We are excited to inform you that we are organizing a workshop on space plasma physics in Crete, Greece:
MEETING: Workshop on space plasma physics and complexity (distributions, turbulence, plasma processes, etc.), within the triannual general conference in statistical physics Sigma-Phi-2020, which will be held in Crete, Greece, July 13-17.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop organized by: G. Livadiotis, M. Leubner, H. Elliott, K. Dialynas:
Kappa Distributions and nonextensive Statistical Mechanics
Theory and Applications in Space Plasma Physics & Complexity Science
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We welcome abstracts reporting on the progress of the following three broad subject areas:
- Theory of Kappa Distributions and Statistical Framework:
Non-extensive statistical mechanics; Superstatistics; Connection with thermodynamics; Entropy; Information measure; Temperature and zero-th law of thermodynamics; Anisotropy of velocity space; Distributions with potential energy.
- Applications in Space and Astrophysical Plasmas:
Solar/Stellar atmospheres; Inner/Outer Heliosphere; Flares/CMEs; Solar wind; Energetic Particles; Pick-up Ions; Terrestrial, Planetary, and Cometary Magnetospheres; Inner/Outer Heliosheath; Interstellar plasmas; Nebular, galactic and intergalactic plasmas.
- Effects on Plasma Processes, Dynamics, and Complexity:
Particle acceleration; Transport and diffusion; Plasma linear/nonlinear waves and instabilities; Shocks and Rankine–Hugoniot conditions; Polytropic relations; Plasma interactions; Correlations and coupling phenomena; Turbulence; Chaos; Mechanisms generating kappa distributions.
