Introduction to Research Seminar
in 143 Physics
Speaker: Cynthia Cattell
Subject: Particle acceleration and energy transfer in space plasmas
mainly for new graduate students
I will give a brief introduction to the field of space plasma physics and its relationship to plasma physics and astrophysics. I will describe some interesting new results from the Minnesota group on relativistic electron acceleration, structure of shock waves, reconnection and energy transport via Alfven waves. I will briefly review current and upcoming projects that can involve graduate students.
