The relative importance of energetic
particle sources in the Sun and further out in the heliosphere is still poorly
understood. Solar-heliospheric particle acceleration is intimately related to
reconnection processes, as well as to shocks and turbulence on various scales.
Small solar flares may play a major role in coronal heating and in giving rise
to the solar wind, while large flares and CMEs have impact on space dosimetry
and may even influence life on geological time scales. An earlier ISSI Team
Project (No. 2, in 1997) on quiet-time protons is now proposed to be extended
to active periods, to other species, to lower energies, and to heliospheric radial
and latitudinal positions far from the Earth orbit. Both spectral features
(e.g. suprathermal tails, spectral minima) and intensity distributions will be
studied at various phases of the last few solar cycles. Particular emphasis
will be given to solar flare and CME particles in the inner heliosphere.
Attempts will also be made to better understand the origin of
solar-heliospheric particle populations in terms of modern non-equilibrium
statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. The team adopts a truly interdisciplinary,
comprehensive approach towards those problems.
