"Modern Challenges in Nonlinear Plasma Physics" Conference 2009; Sani, Halkidiki, Greece

2009年“非线性等离子体物理的现代挑战”会议将为讨论等离子体物理研究的进展提供一个论坛，特别强调地球空间、太阳和实验室等离子体物理。虽然重点研究主题将涵盖(如日冕物质抛射、边缘湍流中发展的结构等)，但重点将放在跨学科问题上(如重联增长率作为无量纲参数的函数、引导场对重联的定性影响、激波或孤子的性质等)。在2009年的会议上，这些跨学科的主题将成为众多与会理论家和实验学家的焦点。这次会议将使年轻的科学家、学生和博士后接触到当前令人兴奋的非线性等离子体物理主题。特别是分学科的介绍性讲座之后，将举行大量关于专门主题的特邀回顾讲座。初级科学家将在两个不同的会议上展示他们自己的工作(主要是以海报的形式)。会议休会后，将在学术通讯中提交一份简短的摘要供发表，发言的记录将作为会议网站的一部分在网上提供。此外，还将出版一卷《会议记录》。

The "Modern Challenges in Nonlinear Plasma Physics" Conference 2009 will provide a forum for discussing progress in plasma physics research, with specific emphasis on geospace, solar, and laboratory plasma physics. While focused research topics will be covered (such as Coronal Mass Ejections, structures developed in edge turbulence, and so forth), emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary questions (such as reconnection growth rate as a function of dimensionless parameters, the qualitative effects of a guide field on reconnection, properties of shocks or solitons, etc.). In this 2009 conference, these interdisciplinary topics will be the focus of a large number of attending theorists and experimentalists.This conference will expose younger scientists, students, and postdocs to exciting current topics in nonlinear plasma physics. Introductory talks in particular subdisciplines will be followed by a large number of invited review talks on specialized topics. Junior scientists will present their own work (mostly in poster form) in two separate sessions. After the conference adjourns, a brief summary will be submitted for publication in an academic newsletter and a record of the presentations will be made available online as part of the conference's website. In addition, a Conference Proceedings volume will be published.
