Topics

We believe that current tendencies in space physics allow distinguishing one problem that deserves to be discussed at the focus meeting entitled: 'Energetic particles in the heliosphere: acceleration, transport and space weather effects'.

 

Rationale

Members of the SOC will organize sessions with specific sessions during this Focus Meeting.

A list of topics to be addressed at the Meeting is as follows:

- Fundamental processes and particle energization in the solar corona and inner heliosphere

- Solar energetic particle (SEP) events and their effects in space environments: observations, forecasting and models

- The role of CME-CME interactions in enhanced SEP production

- Multipoint observations of SEPs and cosmic-ray short-term variations: coupling with interplanetary parameters

- The role of magnetized turbulence and structures in particle energization

- The role of magnetic connections in solar energetic particle studies

- Magnetic structures in the solar wind and particle acceleration.

- Magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration related to current sheets from the corona to the outer heliosphere

- Energetic particles and their impact on magnetospheres, ionospheres and atmospheres.

-Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe +: new windows to SEP studies in the inner heliosphere"

- Energetic particles and space exploration
