Scientists could better understand how solar outbursts accelerate particles to tremendous speeds.
events. But investigating the underlying particle acceleration process involved in SEP events is tricky.
New research demonstrates for the first time that energetic neutral atoms — particles with no electric charge moving at incredible speeds — could be used to probe the acceleration process in large SEP events like CMEs and solar flares. The new findings are quite relevant, as they were released during a stretch of high solar activity. Earth has been pummeled by powerful solar flares and violent CMEs recently. For example, aThe solar flare, consisting of electromagnetic radiation, hit first, ionizing the top of, and producing a radio blackout over the western U.S. and the Pacific Ocean. CMEs consist of plasma and therefore move more slowly, at speeds of a few million miles per hour.
ENA particles could also be used to tell the difference between two different sites of solar particle acceleration, according to the new study, which was led by Gang Li, a professor of space science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
