Objectives

The conference will review past and recent achievements, as well as future challenges in the fields of atomic physics and solar spectroscopy. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to celebrate the career of Dr Helen Mason by recognising her unique contribution to the field of atomic physics and its application to solar and astrophysical plasma spectroscopy. Topics covered will include: atomic physics calculations and data, development and application of plasma diagnostic techniques to measure the physical plasma parameters in the solar atmosphere, as well as observations and modeling of solar active regions, loops, and flares.

Location

The meeting has taken place at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) in the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge.
