Overview:

The Midwest Magnetic Fields Workshop 2023 (MMF 2023) is an annual event that brings together experts in the fields of magnetic fields and turbulence from around the world. The workshop aims to provide a forum for sharing the latest research and developments in these fields, as well as promoting collaborations and discussions between researchers.

Young MMF:

The Young MMF is a dedicated session designed for young researchers, including postdocs and students, to present their latest research and engage with peers and experts in the field. Young MMF aims to foster the development of young talent and encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the magnetic fields and turbulence community.

Topics:

The scientific topic of the MMF2023 is the study of astrophysical magnetic fields. Magnetic fields play a crucial role in a wide range of astrophysical phenomena, including star formation, accretion processes, and the dynamics of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Despite their importance, however, many aspects of astrophysical magnetic fields remain poorly understood. For example, the origin and evolution of magnetic fields in galaxies and clusters is still an active area of research. There are also many unresolved questions about the role of magnetic fields in the dynamics of the interstellar medium, and their influence on the formation and evolution of stars and planets.

MMF2023 provides a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and discuss unsolved problems spanning theoretical, numerical, and observational aspects in the field of:

(1) MHD turbulence;

(2) Turbulent dynamo;

(3) Magnetic reconnection;

(4) Magnetic field measurements;  

(5) Cosmic ray transport  and acceleration;

(6) Magnetic field related astrophysical processes, including star formation, FRBs, accretion disk, etc.
