Field–guided Proton Acceleration at Reconnecting X–points in Flares
An explicitly energy–conserving full orbit code CUEBIT, developed originally to describe energetic particle effects in laboratory fusion experiments, has been applied to the problem of proton acceleration in solar flares. The model fields are obtained from solutions of the linearised MHD equations for reconnecting modes at an X–type neutral point, with the additional ingredient of a longitudina...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks
The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. The efficiency of injection of the pick-up ion component differs from that of the solar wind, and is strongly enhanced at highly oblique and quasi-perpendicular shock events. This paper expands upon previous work modeling the phase s...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration at Relativistic Shocks
I review the current status of Fermi acceleration theory at relativistic shocks. I first discuss the relativistic shock jump conditions, then describe the nonrelativistic Fermi mechanism and the differences introduced by relativistic flows. I present numerical calculations of the accelerated particle spectrum, and examine the maximum energy attainable by this process. I briefly consider the min...
متن کاملParticle acceleration at a dynamic termination shock
[1] We investigate the effects of a large-scale interplanetary disturbance, such as a merged interaction region (MIR), on the properties of the heliospheric termination shock and particle population accelerated at the shock. The interaction process between transient structures and the shock is reflected in energetic particle spectra through variability in shock location, its compression ratio, ...
متن کاملReconnecting Magnetic Flux Tubes as a Source of in Situ Acceleration in Extragalactic Radio Sources
Many extended extragalactic radio sources require a local in situ acceleration mechanism for electrons, in part because the synchrotron lifetimes are shorter than the bulk travel time across the emitting regions. If the magnetic field in these sources is localized in flux tubes, reconnection may occur between regions of plasma β (ratio of particle to magnetic pressure) << 1, even though β avera...
