Microphysics in Computational Relativistic Astrophysics

This workshop will bring together researchers in the field of numerical modeling and microscopic physics of matter and radiation at high densities where effects of general relativity play a central role.

The topics covered will include improved microscopic physics inputs (neutrino-matter interactions, equations of state, thermonuclear reaction rates) and computational methods (GRMHD, radiation transport, reaction networks) with an emphasis on approaches that allow for efficient implementation of the improvements in multi-D simulations of relativistic astrophysical systems.
