Ebook: Energy Conversion and Particle Acceleration in the Solar Corona

The conversion of energy generated in the Sun's interior creates its hot corona and a wealth of dynamical phenomena such as flares and mass ejections. Based on recent significant progress in understanding magnetic reconnection and a wealth of new observations of energetic particle signatures from the sun, the present volume reviews the current theoretical and experimental status in the field. Paying attention to both the details and the broader picture, this book addresses both the experienced researcher as well as non-specialist researchers from related areas and postgraduate students.

Text is based on the CESRA Workshop and Euroconference Energy Conversion and Particle Acceleration in the Solar Corona held July 2-6, 2001, at Scholoss Ringberg, Germany. Aims to address a broader community of astrophysicists, including graduate students and researchers who want to gain insight into this subject.
