Electron Beam Evolution and Radio Emission in the Inhomogeneous Solar Corona

TL;DR

This thesis investigates how accelerated electron beams propagate in the inhomogeneous solar corona plasma, focusing on wave-particle interactions, plasma density effects, and implications for solar radio and X-ray emissions.

Contribution

It provides new insights into the influence of plasma inhomogeneities on electron beam evolution and associated solar radio and X-ray emissions.

Findings

Plasma density inhomogeneities significantly affect wave-particle interactions.

Electron beam evolution is altered by plasma inhomogeneities.

Implications for interpreting solar radio and X-ray observations.

Abstract

This thesis considers the propagation of accelerated electron beams in plasma. We consider the wave particle interactions these undergo which cause their evolution, the effects of plasma density inhomogeneities on these interactions, and the effects this may have on the production of hard X-ray and radio emission by the beam. ...
