Wave Generation by Flare-accelerated Ions and Implications for 3He Acceleration

The waves generated by high-energy proton and alpha particles streaming from solar flares into regions of colder plasma are explored using particle-in-cell simulations. Initial distribution functions for the protons and alphas consist of two populations: an energetic, streaming population represente...
