“…On the relativistic side, which is of importance to this paper, Soviet observations from space probes and satellites detected short (of the order of minutes) and long (two days) term preferential increase in the flux of solar heavy nuclei with energies greater than 600 MeV per nucleon (Konyakhima et al 1972), Kurnosova et al 1962, 1966, 1967and Gginsburg et al 1963). The short term events were simultaneously accompanied by -ray bursts with wavelength λ< 10 A° (Kurnosova et al 1966) and radio events (Ginzburg et al 1963) indicating the simultaneous acceleration of nuclei and electrons (Kurnosova et al 1966). Cainova et al (1971) also pointed out to the simultaneous time of generation and the same mechanism of acceleration of electrons and protons in solar flares.…”

Coherent Effect in the Preferential Acceleration of Heavy Cosmic Ray Nuclei

A coherent mechanism is developed for the preferential acceleration of relativistic heavy solar and galactic cosmic ray nuclei. In this mechanism bunches of high density relativistic electrons serve as vehicles for the acceleration of trapped positive ions over short distances to relativistic velocities. The pinch effect and the seeding of a number of stripped ions will help to stabilize the electron beam, which might break into small, bunches. These positive ions would be trapped electrostatically in the beam's very deep potential well and would necessarily acquire the same velocity of the electrons on acceleration. The ions are actually accelerated by the internal coherent electric field of the electrons. For a perfect coherent mechanism, the radius of the beam L should be L< λ where λ is the plasma wavelength. In addition, these bunches of high density electrons may perform head on collisions with ions. Every ion of mass m2 would obtain a very high energy W = m2 c2 γ2. This mechanism can give rise to energies in the TeV range and can induce fission reactions. Gamma rays can be produced between the accelerated nuclei and the ambient plasma in the solar or stellar atmospheres or in interstellar and intergalactic mediums.The main principle of this mechanism has been applied in electron-ring accelerators 435
