The Physics of Plasmas SWG will be responsible for identifying outstanding science questions concerning plasma shocks, particle acceleration, transport processes, turbulence and instabilities, etc., in various astrophysical systems, developing a compelling science case, and aiding the STDT with producing a mission concept that best addresses these questions.
