Dear colleagues,  please find an announcement for a meeting on cosmic ray
physics and interstellar medium studies. Would it be possible to pass this
announcement to your colleagues and favorite mailing lists please ? Some
(although limited) fundings are available for supporting some
students/postdocs. Thank you for your attention and help.

My best wishes for the new year.

======
The next CRISM workshop  (Cosmic Rays and the InterStellar Medium) is
scheduled in Grenoble (Sout-East France) from June 25 to June 29th 2018.
The web site is https://crism2018.sciencesconf.org/
Registrations open on january 15th 2018.
Any request can be done at the following addresses: david.maurin en lpsc.i
n2p3.fr, pierre.hily-blant en univ-grenoble-alpes.fr, Alexandre

Science case
Cosmic rays (CRs) are a major component of the interstellar medium (ISM),
their energy density is similar to that of the gas and the magnetic field:

   - Low-energy CRs (kinetic energies < 1 GeV) play an active role in the
   ISM dynamics through their pressure gradient at galactic and possibly at
   smaller scales. They contribute to ionization and heating of the ISM,
   especially in dense, optically thick, media where UV and X-ray photons
   cannot penetrate; CR ionization is the main process to couple matter and
   magnetic field and likely has an important impact on star and planet
   formation processes. Low-energy CRs can also self-trigger magnetic
   perturbations and small-scale magnetic turbulence via various kinetic
   plasma instabilities; this determines their residence timescale and the
   local matter ionization level.
   - High-energy CRs (kinetic energies > 1-10 GeV) can be acelerated in strong
   collisionless shock waves in supernova remnants (SNR), and this can
be tested
   by multi-wavelength observations from radio to gamma-ray frequencies.
   High-energy CRs escape from their sources and travel to Earth by a
   succession of random walks controlled by the ISM turbulence. Direct CR
   detection by balloon, satellite, and ground experiments start to unveil
   this diffusive transport up to PeV energies and beyond. CRs interact
   with the  interstellar gas to produce GeV gamma rays, electrons,
   positrons, antiprotons, and neutrinos. A good knowledge of the gas and
   magnetic field distribution combined with a mapping of diffuse CR
   background radiation are essential to claim any dark matter detection.

CRs physics is a key ingredient for both the local and global ISM dynamics.
However, its integration in the modeling of the multi-scale ISM evolution
is still a recent development in the field. The main objective of the CRISM
international workshop is to contribute to a better review and
understanding of the multiple effects of the energetic component of the ISM.



Topics

   1. CR sources: acceleration mechanisms, multi-wavelength observations,
   possible sources (supernova remnants, pulsar winds, stellar clusters, young
   stellar objects)
   2. CR transport (theory, observation, phenomenology): role of
   self-generated turbulence, large-scale injected turbulence; direct and
   indirect observations, modelling and phenomenology, link to dark matter
   detection
   3. Local ISM: MeV CRs, Voyager data, gas and turbulence
   4. Impact of GCRs: dynamics of the ISM, physics and chemistry of
   molecular clouds, role in the formation of stars and planets, composition
   of cosmomaterials
   5. Future of CR studies: experiments, observations, simulations
