Solar Energetic Particles (SEP), Solar Modulation and Space Radiation: New Opportunities in the AMS-02 Era

The workshop aims to bring together experts in the field of cosmic rays and solar energetic particles with an additional focus on their propagation inside the heliosphere and their interaction with the magnetosphere. The talks will present the most recent results related to solar energetic particles (SEPs), solar modulation, space radiation and related phenomena.

Thank you to all who attended our workshop! We feel that it was an extremely successful week of interesting and exciting science and we appreciate your participation.





This workshop will focus on:

  • Solar Energetic Particle Theory
  • Solar Energetic Particle Experiments
  • Solar Observations
  • Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejections
  • Solar Modulation of Galactic Cosmic Rays
  • Propagation of Cosmic Rays inside the Heliosphere
  • Propagation of Particles in the Earth's Magnetosphere
  • Geomagnetic Cutoff Space Radiation Environment
