The evolution of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence resulting from magnetic reconnection will be investigated, and subsequently employed to evaluate the transport and acceleration of energetic particles in solar flares. The cascade of turbulent energy from large to small scales and its dissipative damping through the heating and acceleration of particles determine the evolution of the plasma fluctuations. The transport coefficients for the electrons and protons follow from the coupling to the fluctuations, and enter into a Fokker-Planck equation describing the energy spectrum and pitch-angle distribution of the superthermal particles. Incorporation of these results into a coupled and self-consistent solar flare model will provide specific predictions that can be tested against ground, and space-based observations.

将研究磁重联引起的磁流体动力学湍流的演化，并随后用于评估太阳耀斑中高能粒子的传输和加速。 湍流能量从大尺度到小尺度的级联及其通过粒子加热和加速的耗散阻尼决定了等离子体涨落的演化。 电子和质子的输运系数从耦合到涨落，并进入描述超热粒子的能谱和俯仰角分布的Fokker-Planck方程。 将这些结果纳入一个耦合和自洽的太阳耀斑模型将提供具体的预测，可以测试对地面和空间为基础的观测。
