Observation of low energy electrons and protons from solar active regions

Enhancements in 2-300 keV electron flux and 40 keV-2 MeV proton flux lasting for periods from about 1 to more than 5 days have been observed by the Apollo 15 and 16 subsatellites. Many of these enhancements appear to be associated with the passage of flare-producing active regions on the solar disk. Boundaries of these flux enhancements are sometimes correlated with the passage of sector boundaries in the interplanetary magnetic field. The energy spectra of the observed low energy particles suggests that continual acceleration occurs at coronal heights over solar active regions.

Low-energy electron scattering from CO

The scattering of electrons from carbon monoxide has been studied in the framework of a previously proposed pseudopotential method. It is found that the single-center expansion of the continuum electron orbital about the center of mass of the molecule is very well converged when the two noncoincident nuclear singularities and the nonlocal exchange interactions are properly taken into account in the scattering equations. An analytical proof has been given to show that unlike the total cross section, the momentum-transfer cross section in the fixed-nuclei approximation is finite even for polar molecules. The calculated results of the momentum-transfer cross section for e(-)-CO scattering in the energy range between 0.1 and 10.0 eV are in good accord with the experimental measurements.
