Power conversion factor in solar flares

Direct Conversion for Space Solar Power

iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank Dr. Komerath, my research advisor. It has been a true honor, to work with him in his research endeavors. In addition to the great opportunity he has given me, he has always listened to my ideas, and given me his confidence, respect, encouragement, and support. I am forever indebted. I would like to thank my mother and father for everything. I would like than...

7Li PRODUCTION IN SOLAR FLARES

The Y ohkoh satellite has registered X-ray spectra of two solar Ñares with a linelike feature in the region 400È500 keV. Analysis shows that this feature can be interpreted as gamma-ray lines from excited 7Li and 7Be produced from a ] a reactions. The 7Li production rate in the solar atmosphere is estimated from these observations. The lower limit on the Ñare-produced 7Li abundance on the Sun i...

Lithium-6 from Solar Flares

By introducing a hitherto ignored Li producing process, due to accelerated He reactions with He, we show that accelerated particle interactions in solar flares produce much more Li than Li. By normalizing our calculations to gamma-ray data we demonstrate that the Li produced in solar flares, combined with photospheric Li, can account for the recently determined solar wind lithium isotopic ratio...
