GEANT4 SIMULATIONS OF GAMMA-RAY EMISSION FROM ACCELERATED PARTICLES IN SOLAR FLARES [PDF]
Gamma-ray spectroscopy provides diagnostics of particle acceleration in solar flares, but care must be taken when interpreting the spectra due to effects of the angular distribution of the accelerated particles (such as relativistic beaming) and Compton reprocessing of the radiation in the solar atmosphere.

Acceleration, Containment, and Emission of Very Low Energy Solar Flare Particles [PDF]
We present the first observations of protons down to 44 keV and electrons down to ≲ keV emitted in an impulsive solar particle event. The observations are from the Apollo 15 Subsatellite during a flare event which began on September 1, 1971. We obtain a lower limit estimate of the energy contained in ≳ MeV protons in the flare. The effects of adiabatic

Additional acceleration of solar-wind particles in current sheets of the heliosphere [PDF]
Particles of fast solar wind in the vicinity of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) or in a front of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) often reveal very peculiar energy or velocity profiles, density distributions with double or triple peaks,

Dense suspension of solid particles as a new heat transfer fluid for concentrated solar thermal plants: on-sun proof of concept [PDF]
This paper demonstrates the capacity of dense suspensions of solid particles to transfer concentrated solar power from a tubular receiver to an energy conversion process by acting as a heat transfer fluid.

The flux of energetic particles originating from the Sun fluctuates during the solar cycles. It depends on the number and properties of active regions (ARs) present in a single day and associated solar activities, such as solar flares and coronal mass ...

The role of alpha particles in the emission of plasma waves inside solar ejecta [PDF]
The enhancement of the resonant instability of right-hand polarized electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves by alpha particles for physical parameters corresponding to coronal mass ejections is studied. We focus on the effects of alpha thermal anisotropy and relative He++/H+ abundance on growth and absorption rates.

On solar protons and polar cap absorption: Constraints on an empirical relationship [PDF]
International audienceA large database of Solar Proton Events (SPE) from the period 1995 to 2001 is used to investigate the relationship between proton flux at geostationary orbit and Cosmic Noise Absorption (CNA) in the auroral zone. The effect of solar

Case study of the mesospheric and lower thermospheric effects of solar x-ray flares: Coupled ion-neutral modelling and comparison with EISCAT and riometer measurements [PDF]
Two case studies of upper mesospheric and lower thermospheric (UMLT) high-latitude effects of solar X-ray flares are presented. Sodankylä Ion-neutral Chemistry Model (SIC) electron density profiles agree with D-region EISCAT and riometer ...

Magnetic local time (MLT) dependence of auroral peak emission height and morphology [PDF]
We investigate the bulk behaviour of auroral structures and peak emission height as a function of magnetic local time (MLT). These data are collected from the Fennoscandian Lapland and Svalbard latitudes from seven identical auroral all-sky cameras (ASC)
