  1. 53. Multiscale Modeling and Simulations of Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares
    Fan Guo (Los Alamos National Lab)

    Invited talk

    We present recent highlights of particle acceleration and transport in solar flares with modeling tools that cover a range of relevant scales. 3D kinetic simulations in the nonrelativistic regime have uncovered the injection process of thermal particles and early stage of nonthermal acceleration of both ions and electrons. The flux-rope kink instability and oblique tearing instabilities lead...

  2. 57. Extreme particle accelerators

    Invited talk

    I will talk about the perfectly designed by Nature machines - Cosmic Ray Factories accelerating particles - electrons and protons - with a rate close to the theoretical margin allowed by classical electrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. For a long time, we suspected the Crab Nebula as an extreme electron accelerator. After the recent detection of PeV gamma-rays from the Crab, we have direct...
