The first realistic attempt to break into the Hyperspace – sun’s enormous continuous particle accelerator
The Sun is a ‘ready to observe’ massive particle accelerator that is finally helping scientists to understand the effects of fast acceleration and bombardment of particles.
Massive particle acceleration levels produce virtual materials exposing extra dimensions beyond the known 3-D spatial dimensions to us. That is exactly what scientists are observing in the Sun.
Particle acceleration is a ubiquitous cosmic phenomenon from the scale of active galactic nuclei down to planetary magnetospheres with the resulting fast particles having an energy density high enough to influence their environment. Acceleration processes are far from well understood, either theoretically or phenomenologically from data interpretation. The nearby sun offers a unique opportunity to study particle acceleration via high resolution spectra and images at radio to gamma-ray wavelengths from ground and space observatories, and by direct particle detection in space, (Solar energetic particles are a key component of Space Weather and its effects on the Earth environment.)
Scientists are involved in a wide range of theoretical and numerical projects on diagnosing data on solar electron and ion acceleration. Results are used as tests of particle acceleration and transport models and of the role of particles in heating of the flaring and active solar atmosphere. A range of possible thesis topics is available in these areas, all involving varying mixes of : data mining and reduction; signal analysis (spectrum and image deconvolution); tests of phenomenological models against data; numerical simulations and analytic modeling of plasma/particle processes.
Sooner or later scientists will use these massive natural particle accelerators in the cosmos to break open into the Hyperspace.
