Effect of collisions and magnetic convergence on electron acceleration and transport in reconnecting twisted solar flare loops
M. Gordovskyy, P. K. Browning, E. P. Kontar +1
We study a model of particle acceleration coupled with an MHD model of magnetic reconnection in unstable twisted coronal loops. The kink instability leads to the formation of helic…

Particle acceleration and transport in reconnecting twisted loops in a stratified atmosphere
Mykola Gordovskyy, Philippa Browning, Eduard Kontar +1
Twisted coronal loops should be ubiquitous in the solar corona. Twisted magnetic fields contain excess magnetic energy, which can be released during magnetic reconnection, causing…
