Working Group Meeting
15-26 March 2010

WORKING
GROUPS

Transport: linked flux tubes simulations, momentum transport, intrinsic rotation, transport barriers (weeks 1 & 2). Moderators: Barnes & Görler.
Edge gyrokinetics (weeks 1 & 2). Moderators: Parra & Told.
Plasma turbulence with ExB shear (week 1). Moderators: Angenent & Highcock.
High-beta simulations, microtearing (week 1). Moderators: Püschel & Roach.
Collisionless/kinetic reconnection (weeks 1 & 2). Moderators: Loureiro & Zocco.
Sub-Larmor scales, velocity-space turbulence, energy flows in GK (weeks 1 & 2). Moderators: Plunk & Schekochihin.
LES for GK (week 2). Moderators: Hammett & Merz.

FORMAT

This is a working meeting: there will be seminars in the morning and right after lunch and plenty of time for discussions and collaborative work. The aim is to make concrete progress rather than passively listen to talks. So, not really a workshop --- mostly work, very little shop.

Every line in your calculations ends with "=0". You are not making much progress!
Kate Hammett
