Particle Acceleration at the Sun and in the Heliosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare different populations of the sources and learn more about the sources, and about the physics of acceleration and transport, than we can possibly learn from one source alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plasma physics of shock acceleration
Frank C. Jones,Donald C. Ellison +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the history and theory of particle acceleration is presented, paying particular attention to theories of parallel shocks which include the backreaction of accelerated particles on the shock structure, and the work that computer simulations, both plasma and Monte Carlo, are playing in revealing how thermal ions interact with shocks.

Critical Issues For Understanding Particle Acceleration in Impulsive Solar Flares
James A. Miller,Peter J. Cargill,A. Gordon Emslie,Gordon D. Holman,Brian R. Dennis,T. N. LaRosa,Robert Winglee,Stephen G. Benka,Saku Tsuneta +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the present status of existing models for particle acceleration during impulsive solar flares, was inspired by a week-long workshop held in the Fall of 1993 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as mentioned in this paper.

Particle acceleration and kinematics in solar flares – A Synthesis of Recent Observations and Theoretical Concepts (Invited Review)
TL;DR: In this article, the physical processes of particle acceleration, injection, propagation, trapping, and energy loss in solar flare conditions are reviewed, and the authors aim to capitalize on the numerous observations from recent spacecraft missions, such as from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), the Yohkoh Hard X-Ray Telescope (HXT) and Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT), and the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE), to interpret the detailed timing and spectral evolution of the radiative signatures caused by nonthermal particles in hard X-rays
