SUMMARY:SPEARS Seminar: Modelling solar energetic particle propagation through interplanetary space
DESCRIPTION:Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are accelerated during flares and coronal mass ejections at the Sun. They can escape from the solar corona into interplanetary space and reach eg near-Earth locations, where they pose a significant radiation risk to humans in space and satellite hardware. This talk will review our understanding of the origin and propagation of SEPs, based on a large body of data gathered by spacecraft detectors and theoretical models of energetic particle propagation. It will focus in particular on recent modelling work analysing the role of cross-field diffusion in SEP transport, by means of test particle simulations.
