Particle Acceleration and Heating in a Turbulent Solar Corona

Loukas Vlahos, Heinz Isliker

英文摘要:

Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and shocks can be present in explosively unstable plasmas, forming a new electromagnetic environment, which we call here turbulent reconnection, and where spontaneous formation of current sheets takes place. We will show that the heating and the acceleration of particles is the result of the synergy of stochastic (second order Fermi) and systematic (first order Fermi) acceleration inside fully developed turbulence. The solar atmosphere is magnetically coupled to a turbulent driver (the convection zone), therefore the appearance of turbulent reconnection in the solar atmosphere is externally driven. Turbulent reconnection, once it is established in the solar corona, drives the coronal heating and particle acceleration.
