Objective: A series of workshops is in progress during the years 2000 – 2004 to study in detail origin, development, and effects of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). An international team of about 60 experimenters, ground observers, and theoreticians works on interpreting the observations and developing new models for CME initiations, development, and interplanetary propagation. Under investigation are also effects on charged particles and related phenomena like energetic particle acceleration, interaction with ambient solar wind and other CMEs, as well as the internal structure of CMEs and its time variation. Fundamental questions concerning CMEs (e.g. CME initiation) and many detailed observations are still not understood. The workshop shall help to jointly investigate these questions with scientists from all scientific areas involved. The workshop consists mainly of working group sessions on specific topics with a limited number of introductory talks. The specific aim of the ISSI Workshop in 2004 is to publish the workshop results in a joint publication.
Attendance at this workshop is by invitation only. Letters of invitation have been sent in August 2003 to all participants of the first and/or the second Elmau workshop.
