Accurate forecasting of space weather requires knowledge of the source regions where solar energetic particles (SEP) and eruptive events originate. Recent work has linked several major SEP events in 2014, January, to specific features in the host active region (AR 11944). In particular, plasma composition measurements in and around the footpoints of hot, coronal loops in the core of the active region were able to explain the values later measuredin situby theWindspacecraft. Due to important differences in elemental composition between SEPs and the solar wind, the magnitude of the Si/S elemental abundance ratio emerged as a key diagnostic of SEP seed population and solar wind source locations. We seek to understand if the results are typical of other active regions, even if they are not solar wind sources or SEP productive. In this paper, we use a novel composition analysis technique, together with an evolutionary magnetic field model, in a new approach to investigate a typical solar active region (AR 11150), and identify the locations of highly fractionated (high Si/S abundance ratio) plasma. Material confined near the footpoints of coronal loops, as in AR 11944, that in this case have expanded to the AR periphery, show the signature, and can be released from magnetic field opened by reconnection at the AR boundary. Since the fundamental characteristics of closed field loops being opened at the AR boundary is typical of active regions, this process is likely to be general.
