Invited
Magnetic reconnection is a multi-scale phenomenon which in
collisionless plasmas
involves electron and ion kinetic processes as well as macro-scale
plasma flows.
Only numerical simulation approaches allow to bridge the huge scale-
gaps between
the relevant particle and flow dynamics. We review the different
approaches taken
so far to cope with the arising difficulties and draw...

Keynote
Nonthermal particles are ubiquitous in space and astrophysical
plasmas, and
explosive phenomena such as supernova remnant shocks, solar flares,
and
terrestrial substroms have demonstrated evidence for the production of
high-energy
particles. Yet the particle acceleration mechanism remains an
unresolved issue.
After the innovative idea of the stochastic acceleration by Enrico...

Oral
The intermittent properties of the turbulent field at different scales
down towards
electron scales have been studied using CLUSTER magnetic field data in
solar wind.
We found that turbulence, in some cases, orginizes itself in
unidimensional current
sheets well descibed by an Harris equilibrium on electron scales. These
structures
could be those structures that numerical...
