On this workshop
In recent years, advances in multi-messenger astronomy and big survey technologies have led to the discovery of extreme burst phenomena occurring in the universe. Consequently, new mysteries have emerged in the field of high-energy astrophysics. For instance, relationships between fast radio bursts and magnetars, binary neutron star mergers and gamma-ray bursts, and black hole transients and cosmic rays have been questioned.
To comprehend these high-energy astrophysical phenomena, we are compelled to revisit plasma physics. Understanding plasma wave interactions, strong wave propagation, collective scattering, and non-MHD effects in relativistic conditions demands approaches beyond conventional frameworks. These aspects also bear relevance to laser physics and Earth and planetary science.
This workshop aims to share knowledge on the current state of observations and advancements in theoretical research in high-energy astrophysics, exploring unresolved challenges and future prospects. In particular, the focus will be on reconsidering plasma physics and searching for novel theoretical approaches, providing opportunities for collaborative research to achieve fundamental understanding of cosmic phenomena.
