Shortly after the seminal paper “Self-Organized Criticality: An explanation of 1/f noise” by
Bak et al.(1987), the idea has been applied to solar physics, in “Avalanches and the …

Driven by recent RHESSI observations of confined loop-top hard X-ray sources in solar
flares, we consider stochastic acceleration of electrons in the presence of Coulomb …

We perform numerical experiments of test particle acceleration on turbulent magnetic and
electric fields obtained from pseudospectral direct numerical solutions of the compressible …

Abstract Self-Organised Criticality (SOC), embedded in cellular automata models, has been
so far viewed as an attractive phenomenological approach for studying the statistical …

We report on results of the working group sessions at the CESRA 2001 workshop on
“Energy Conversion and Particle Acceleration in the Solar Corona” which was focused on …

High-energy charged particles are produced during solar flares. These may be accelerated
by the strong electric fields associated with the magnetic reconnection process which is the …

We study the high-energy emission of the Galactic black hole candidate GX 339− 4 using
INTEGRAL/SPI and simultaneous RXTE/PCA data. By the end of 2007 January, when it …

The effect of a parallel velocity shear on the explosive phase of a double current sheet
system is investigated within the 2D resistive magnetohydrodynamic framework. We further …

This Letter presents an analysis of particle acceleration in a model of the complex magnetic
field environment in the flaring solar corona. A slender flux tube, initially in hydrodynamic …

We establish a classification scheme for stochastic acceleration models involving low-
frequency plasma turbulence in a strongly magnetized plasma. This classification takes into …
