Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
A review of observational data supports the proposal that there are two distinct phases of particle acceleration in solar flares. ‘Phase 1’ is associated with the flash phase and is here interpreted as acceleration during field-line reconnection. ‘Phase 2’ is associated with type II and type IV radio bursts, and is ascribed to stochastic acceleration in the turbulent plasma behind a magnetohydrodynamic shock formed ahead of an ejected plasmoid.
