“…An incomplete list of processes (with corresponding white papers) includes dynamos, the acceleration and transport of energetic particles, magnetic reconnection (Ji et al 2022;Chen et al 2022), collisionless shocks (Goodrich et al 2022), turbulence and waves in fluid and kinetic scales, wave-particle interaction (Thorne 2010), plasma heating and energy dissipation (Haggerty et al 2022) and effects of partially ionized plasmas. These processes underlie many important heliophysical phenomena, including solar and heliospheric magnetic fields, energetic particles and radiation (Shih et al 2022;Chen et al 2022;Turner et al 2022;Kollmann et al 2022), coronal and solar wind heating (Klimchuk et al 2022;Mondal et al 2022), the origin of solar eruptions and magnetospheric storms and substorms (Chen et al 2022;Green et al 2022), the shape and size of the heliosphere, ionospheric outflow, and the impact of solar activity on planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres in our solar system (Cohen et al 2022;Crary et al 2022) andbeyond (Garcia-Sage et al 2022).…”
