The 2026 Arcetri Workshop on Plasma Astrophysics, reaching its 15th edition, as usual will explore theoretical topics in plasma dynamics with an emphasis on solar, heliospheric and galactic problems of current interest. Contributions based on simulation, observation, and fundamental theory are welcome.Â
The sessions' topics include:
Origin and evolution of the solar wind
Solar wind and coronal turbulence and theories of dissipation
Observational and simulation methods and studies
Solar energetic particles and solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays
Particle acceleration by turbulence, reconnection and shocks
Plasma astrophysics
Laboratory plasmas and connections to astrophysics
Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, MMS, and future missions
As in previous years the workshop will be held in the Aula A of the Garbasso building of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Largo Enrico Fermi 2, Firenze. This is located on the beautiful Arcetri hill, near the villa where Galileo Galilei lived his last years.
