摘要:

带电粒子的加速与日冕在很宽的尺度和能量范围内有关。高能粒子通常伴随着大的能量释放事件,如太阳爆发和耀斑,但加速可以发生在较小的尺度上,其特征是电流片附近的动力学活动。为了深入了解日冕带电粒子加速的复杂情况,我们使用三维磁流体动力学(MHD)模型的测试粒子的方法研究加速特性。这些都是从直接的解决方案的减少MHD方程,非常适合嵌入在一个强轴向磁场,相关的内日球层的等离子体。多箱,多尺度技术被用来解决质子的运动方程。这种方法使我们能够解决一个扩展的范围内的尺度存在于系统中,即从离子惯性尺度的一米的顺序高达宏观尺度的顺序$10\,$公里($1/100$ th的外部规模的系统)。这种新技术是有用的,以确定的机制,在不同的尺度上,负责加速到高能量的一小部分的粒子在日冕等离子体。我们报告的结果,描述在不同阶段的加速在广泛的时间,长度和能量尺度。

英文摘要:

The acceleration of charged particles is relevant to the solar corona over a broad range of scales and energies. High-energy particles are usually detected in concomitance with large energy release events like solar eruptions and flares, nevertheless acceleration can occur at smaller scales, characterized by dynamical activity near current sheets. To gain insight into the complex scenario of coronal charged particle acceleration, we investigate the properties of acceleration with a test-particle approach using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models. These are obtained from direct solutions of the reduced MHD equations, well suited for a plasma embedded in a strong axial magnetic field, relevant to the inner heliosphere. A multi-box, multi-scale technique is used to solve the equations of motion for protons. This method allows us to resolve an extended range of scales present in the system, namely from the ion inertial scale of the order of a meter up to macroscopic scales of the order of $10\,$km ($1/100$th of the outer scale of the system). This new technique is useful to identify the mechanisms that, acting at different scales, are responsible for acceleration to high energies of a small fraction of the particles in the coronal plasma. We report results that describe acceleration at different stages over a broad range of time, length and energy scales.
