Betatron Acceleration of Suprathermal Electrons within a Small-scale Flux Rope in the Solar Wind
A growing body of evidence from observations, theories, and simulations indicates that particles can be effectively accelerated in solar wind regions filled with dynamic small-scale flux ropes (FRs). The main acceleration mechanisms identified in simulations include parallel electric field accelerat...
