  1. Introduction to CMSO Meeting Center for Magnetic Self-Organization in Laboratory and Astrophysical Plasmas

  2. Outline • Reminder of CMSO (topics, participants, structure) • Status (prior meetings and planning) • This meeting

  3. Topics • Magnetic Reconnection • Dynamo • Angular Momentum Transport • Ion Heating • Magnetic Chaos and Transport • Magnetic Helicity Conservation and Transport

  4. Institutions Princeton University The University of Chicago The University of Wisconsin Science Applications International Corp Swarthmore College Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ~25 investigators, ~similar number of postdocs and students

  5. The Tools • Experimental facilities • Computation Apply multiple tools to each physics problem

  6. Experimental facilities • yields range of topologies and critical parameters • Joint experiments and shared diagnostics

  7. Topical Coordinators • Reconnection Yamada, Zweibel • Momentum transport Craig, Goodman • Dynamo Cattaneo, Prager • Ion Heating Fiksel, Rosner • Chaos and transport Malyshkin, Terry • Helicity Ji, Kulsrud

  8. CMSO Steering Committee F. Cattaneo H. Ji S. Prager R. Rosner D. Schnack C. Sprott P. Terry M. Yamada E. Zweibel meets weekly, input welcome

  11. Center Status Sept, 2003 Start Phase one Detailed planning (Sept - Jan, 04) cross-disciplinary discussions Phase two Research underway (Jan, 04 - ongoing) Phase three Emphasize lab/astro links

  12. CMSO Meetings Sept, 03 Ion heating/chaos (Chicago) Sept, 03 Reconnection/momentum (Princeton) Oct, 03 Dynamo (Chicago) Nov, 03 General meeting (Chicago) Jan, 04 Detailed plans on web (www.cmso.info) June,04 Hall dynamo and relaxation (Princeton) Aug, 04 General meeting (Madison)

  13. Various Research Interactions astrophysical plasma research theory, computation observation laboratory plasma research theory, computation experiment new opportunities for both within CMSO

  14. cross-cutting modes of research experiments to test astrophysics ideas astrophysical concept experiment Generation of new ideas from experiments experiment astrophysics theory, computation

  15. This Meeting Purpose • Physics talks • Review progress • Review and discuss plans (general input, details settled later)

  16. Format of Meeting • For most research topics An “invited” talk (45 min., incl. 10 - 15 min. for discussion) A talk on a recent Center result (30 min, incl. ~ 10 min for discussion Presentation/discussion on progress and plans (75 minutes, including some 10 minute talks) • Educational Outreach: Progress/Plans (one hour) • Final open session for feedback, synthesis, discussion (2.5 hrs)

  17. Lunch provided in this building • Meeting dinner tonight ($30) - pay at break or lunchtime • MST visit: if interested, sign up
