Participation in the joint ISEE workshops

Law participated in the joint ISEE workshops held at Kyoto University’s Uji Campus on March 26–27, 2024.

These workshops aimed to facilitate the sharing of cutting-edge knowledge and foster collaboration between laboratory plasma physics, including laser-produced and magnetically confined plasmas, and astrophysical plasma research, such as space plasmas and high-energy cosmic rays. Discussions particularly focused on various challenges related to particle acceleration phenomena like stochastic acceleration, as well as new methods for simulating and verifying cosmic-ray acceleration mechanisms in laboratory environments.

During the workshops, Law presented numerical simulation results regarding the generation of strong magnetic fields through laser-plasma interactions. Participants engaged in productive discussions about the challenges and possibilities that arise when actual phenomena are scaled down and examined through numerical simulations.
