First Announcement and Registration Information

ACE Science Workshop

January 7, 8, & 9, 1997

Pasadena, CA

A scientific workshop for NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) mission will be held on January 7, 8, and 9, 1997 on the campus of the California Institute of Technology. ACE includes nine instruments that will measure the elemental, isotopic, and ionic charge state composition of 1<= Z <= 28 nuclei from solar wind energies (~1 keV/nuc) to galactic cosmic ray energies (~500 MeV/nuc). It will be launched in August 1997 into orbit about the inner Lagrangian (L1) point, where it will provide unprecedented measurements of energetic nuclei of solar, interplanetary, and galactic origin, and provide real-time solar wind and other interplanetary data.

The January workshop will include fifteen invited speakers that will discuss the broad range of scientific objectives that ACE can address. The scientific community is invited to present ideas for the use of ACE data in a poster session, and by participation in several splinter sessions that will focus on topics involving solar wind origin and acceleration, pick-up ions and anomalous cosmic rays, solar/interplanetary particle acceleration and composition, and the origin, acceleration, and transport of galactic cosmic rays. A special issue of Space Science Reviews is also planned.

To get on the mailing list for additional workshop announcements send your name and address by e-mail to debby@srl.caltech.edu or call Debby Kubly at 626/395-6809 or fax to Debby Kubly at 626-449-8676.
