Sun, Corona and Solar Energetic Particles
Bernd Heber (Universität Kiel)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are one manifestation of violent
energy releases on the Sun. The study of their acceleration and
propagation reveals information about basic plasma-physical
processes, such as reconnection, shock acceleration and wave–particle
interaction, in astrophysical objects, such as stars, magnetospheres
or the diluted plasma of the interstellar or interplanetary medium.
In the talk we introduce the current classification scheme for solar
energetic particle events, its relation to the underlying acceleration
processes, and addresses open questions regarding the better
understanding of SEPs.
