Numerical simulations of coronal particle trapping.
Abstract
In this paper the trapping of high energy particles in solar coronal loops is addressed. Using simulations, the time evolution of electrons and protons trapped in a magnetic bottle is calculated under various scattering conditions and the results compared with loss-cone analysis. Thereafter the case of time-dependent injection into a magnetic loop is addressed, and the results compared with previous analytic work on X and γ-ray delay times.
