This book explores how magnetic reconnection in solar flares accelerates particles. These particles heat the solar atmosphere, launching supersonic shocks into the Sun's interior and causing the seismic responses on the photosphere known as sunquakes.
This book presents an extended summary of the author publications describing how particles of the solar and interplanetary neutral plasma are accelerated to sub-relativistic energies during magnetic reconnection in solar flares and interplanetary space. The high energy particles are shown to form electric circuits in solar flares from precipitating and returning particles. This circuit exists as long as the reconnection process exists that defines a flare duration. The heating of flaring atmospheres by precipitating particles (electrons, protons or mixed beams) is shown to cause hydrodynamic responses of flaring atmospheres. These responses lead to explosive or mild evaporation of the chromospheric plasma into the corona and formation of fast supersonic hydrodynamic shocks travelling into the solar interior. These dynamic processes are investigated in the observed hard X-ray and soft X-ray, and microwave and optical emissions in the flaring events with sunquakes. The shocks are found to penetrate into the interior beneath flares and become accountable for the formation of seismic responses of solar flares seen as ripples on the photosphere, or sunquakes.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of intense laser-plasma interaction, motivated by applications in high-energy-density physics. For master’s and graduate students, it combines accessible theory with up-to-date developments and practical exercises.
This book scrutinises quantum optic experiments, revealing hitherto ignored phenomena. It shows that there are no quantum optic “miracles” once the physically present effects are correctly identified, leading to a new understanding of quantum locality and realism.
Explore the improved optical detectors, from UV to far-infrared, that power a new era of measurement. This guide helps scientists and engineers select, build, and calibrate instruments for superior accuracy and expanded applications.
This book provides a precise idea of what an atom or molecule is using quantum theory. To overcome student comprehension difficulties, it insists on the importance of underlying physical principles, such as particle-wave duality, indeterminism, and presence probability.
Over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically. The invention of the laser led to new branches of the field. This work unites traditional and modern optics into a single theory, using modern mathematical tools and a heuristic approach.
This guide helps the optical radiation measurement community switch from traditional source-based methods to higher-accuracy, detector-based applications. It covers user-friendly radiometric practices, setup design, and extensions into the ultraviolet and infrared ranges.
This book presents research-based material on designing radiometers for high-performance optical measurements. It is a reference for students, scientists, and engineers to learn, design, build, and use new generation radiometers, covering design issues and applications.
This book focuses on novel applications of nanostructured nonlinear optical materials, including optical limiting, Q-switching, mode-locking, and laser-nanoplasma physics. It is useful for physicists, material scientists, and engineers interested in laser technology.
This book presents over 40 experiments in optics for students and engineers. Covering components like lenses, mirrors, and gratings, each experiment is clearly described with concise, easy-to-understand theory to explain the principles underlying them.
This volume presents research on gas-discharge plasma for creating powerful, tunable excilamps. It details the application of these studies to develop efficient blue-green and ultraviolet radiation sources for specialists in plasma physics and quantum electronics.
