  1. Dissipation of Solar Wind Turbulence Thursday AM, Thursday PM, Friday AM John Podesta, Bill Matthaeus and Greg Howes

  2. Dissipation of solar wind turbulence • Thursday Morning: • Solar wind theory (1) Ben Chandran • Thursday Afternoon: • SW observations (1) Chuck Smith • (2) Chadi Salem • Friday Morning: • SW current sheets (1) Joe Borovsky • (2) Bernie Vasquez

  3. Dissipation of solar wind turbulence • 1. To what extent is the dissipation range of solar wind turbulence composed by Kinetic-Alfven-Wave (KAW) fluctuations, and to what extent can these fluctuations be described by gyrokinetic theory?

  4. Dissipation of solar wind turbulence • 2. How much of the turbulent energy cascade goes into heating ions and how much goes into heating electrons? • 3. How important is cyclotron damping in the dissipation of solar wind turbulence? • 4. What is the role of current sheets in the dissipation of solar wind turbulence?

  5. Members of the audience who would like to present 1 or 2 slides containing relevant research results and/or points to discuss should give them to John Podesta or email them to jpodesta@solar.stanford.edu before thursday
