Thursday AM, Thursday PM, Friday AM
John Podesta, Bill Matthaeus and Greg Howes

Thursday Afternoon:–SW observations (1) Chuck Smith (2) Chadi SalemFriday Morning:–SW current sheets (1) Joe Borovsky (2) Bernie Vasquez
Dissipation of solar wind turbulence
1. To what extent is the dissipation range of solar wind turbulence composed by Kinetic-Alfven-Wave (KAW) fluctuations, and to what extent can these fluctuations be described by gyrokinetic theory?
Dissipation of solar wind turbulence
2. How much of the turbulent energy cascade goes into heating ions and how much goes into heating electrons?
3. How important is cyclotron damping in the dissipation of solar wind turbulence?
4. What is the role of current sheets in the dissipation of solar wind turbulence?

Members of the audience who would like to present 1 or 2 slides containing relevant research results and/or points to discuss
should give them to John Podesta or email them to jpodesta@solar.stanford.edu
