| Session Description | Energetic particles are an important topic of space plasma physics, encompassing solar physics, interplanetary physics and heliospheric physics. However, many details still remain unknown. Particle acceleration processes include magnetic reconnection, wave-particle interaction, collisionless shock wave, etc., and particle transport processes include adiabatic motion, parallel and perpendicular diffusions, random walk of magnetic field lines, wave-particle interaction, etc.. This session invites contributions that discuss space-borne and ground-based observations, and theory/modeling of the processes of energetic particle acceleration and transport at the Sun and in the heliosphere. |
