Particle Acceleration and Transport in Reconnecting Plasmas
Abstract
We model the behaviour of particles in and around X-type magnetic configurations, a possible solar flare reconnection geometry. Particles are accelerated by a time-varying electric field close to the neutral point, and followed by integrating the equations of motion. When their motion becomes adiabatic a stochastic simulation is used to model their further transport in a collisional magnetised medium.
