A Perspective on Solar Energetic Particles
arXiv:2203.15886 · doi:10.3389/fspas.2022.890864
Abstract
The author has been fortunate to observe and participate in the rise of the field of solar energetic particles (SEPs), from the early abundance studies, to the contemporary paradigm of shock acceleration in large SEP events, and element abundance enhancements that are power laws in mass-to-charge ratios from H to Pb. Through painful evolution the "birdcage" model and the "solar-flare myth" came and went, leaving us with shock waves and solar jets that can interact as sources of SEPs.
