Plasma turbulence and the
propagation of charged particles in the Heliosphere
The propagation of energetic particles through complex magnetic fields is an important question in many astrophysical scenarios. Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of the inteplanetary magnetic field is vital for understanding physical processes in the heliosphere, such as turbulence and energetic particle transport. These two subjects are intimately connected. We propose to use novel and state-of-the-art methods to study the turbulence of the interplaneatry magnetic field and its implication on the propagation of energetic charged particles. Magnetic field and particle observations will be used. The proposed team combines expertize from both areas.

details, see the Proposal sent to ISSI.
