The Physics of Collisionless Dissipation in the Heliosphere
The physics of collisionless dissipation is an essential part of heliospheric plasma systems and advancements in this topic in the next decade are needed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the heliosphere. We report recent advances in the study of collisionless dissipation, identify key outstanding problems, and encourage support for research in theory, modeling and observations.
