| Zusammenfassung |
| During solar flares a large number of charged particles are accelerated to high energies, but
the exact mechanism responsible for this is still unclear. Acceleration in collapsing magnetic
traps is one of the mechanisms proposed. In this contribution we discuss analytic kinematic
MHD models for collapsing magnetic traps. Particle orbits are calculated using
the guiding centre approximation. A few illustrative examples of collapsing trap
models will be presented together with some preliminary studies of particle orbits. |
