Session ID#: 15888

Session Description:
An important topic of solar and heliospheric physics is to understand the energization and transport of non-thermal particles.  Such a study in the inner heliosphere encompasses a variety of processes leading to the acceleration of solar wind suprathermal electrons/ions, impulsive and gradual solar energetic particles, energetic particles from Corotation Interaction regions (CIRs), etc. However, many details of the acceleration and transport process of these energetic particles still remain unknown. Particle acceleration processes include magnetic reconnection, wave-particle interaction, collisionless shock wave, etc., and particle transport processes include adiabatic cooling, parallel and perpendicular diffusions, random walk of magnetic field lines, etc.

This session invites contributions that discuss space-borne and ground-based observations, and theory/modelling of the processes pertaining to particle acceleration and transport at the sun and in the inner heliosphere.
