Acceleration and transport of
energetic particles: X-ray and radio signatures

Summary.
During periods of sporadic solar
activity, the Sun ejects large number
of even more energetic
particles. These solar particles
can affect the Earth's magnetosphere
and ionosphere. These particles
sometimes damage satellites and cause
problems for telecommunications.
Understanding of electron propagation
and acceleration is the key element of
Sun-Earth connection studies and an
important element of Space Weather.
Beams of highly energetic electrons are accelerated
in solar flares, huge magnetic
explosions in the solar atmosphere
caused by the restructuring of solar
magnetic fields. The electron beams
can be detected in-situ near the Earth
and via their electromagnetic emission
in the solar atmosphere and
interplanetary space. Signatures of
electron beams in the solar atmosphere
include X-rays and strong radio
emission. The proposed project aims to
bring a new level of understanding of
electron acceleration and transport
building on the complementary
expertises of British and French teams
as well as to provide training for PhD
students and Postdocs
not available in their countries of
study. Both teams are actively
involved in ESA-led future Solar
Orbiter mission. British
