SUMMARY:Deducing Solar Electron Acceleration Parameters with Radio Bursts 
 - Dr. Hamish Reid (SUPA Lofar Fellow\, University of Glasgow)

DESCRIPTION:The Sun is the most efficient particle accelerator in the sola
 r system.  Solar flares are the most extreme example of such events\, with
  accelerated particles emitting light across the entire electromagnetic sp
 ectrum.  Whilst solar flares are impulsive\, the magnetic active regions i
 n the solar atmosphere can also cause continuous acceleration over days.  
 Solar accelerated particles affect the Earth through a process known as Sp
 ace Weather.  It is desirable to understand our best local example of astr
 onomical acceleration\, however\, the inhospitable conditions of the Sun m
 ean we must discern physical parameters by analysis of emitted light. I wi
 ll show a number of different acceleration parameters that can be estimate
 d through the radio emission from accelerated electrons by using observati
 ons and numerical simulations.  I will show how linked the radio emission 
 is to X-rays and how this helps us in determining acceleration parameters.
   I will also show new observations from LOFAR\, the next generation Europ
 ean radio interferometer\, and highlight how these will improve our unders
 tanding of accelerated solar electrons.\n
