Event Overview
This hybrid event is part of the Royal Astronomical Society's Specialist Discussion Meeting (SDM) program, scheduled for October 16, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 3:35 PM. It aims to unite experts from the UK and international communities to delve into the complexities of how solar wind affects Earth's radiation belts.
Key Topics
Participants will engage in discussions covering:
- Solar-terrestrial coupling and radiation belt response: Examining dynamics driven by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs), along with substorm activities and particle acceleration.
- Wave-particle interactions: Investigating how solar wind conditions influence plasma wave generation and subsequent particle acceleration and loss.
- Modelling and future directions: Identifying gaps in current physics-based and data-driven models, and strategizing future missions to enhance understanding of these phenomena.
This event promises to be a significant opportunity for networking and collaboration among researchers and practitioners in the field. For more information and to register, visit the event page.
