This is a 4-year research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for $803,141. The grant is focused on developing a comprehensive modeling approach to better understand the acceleration and transport of energetic particles associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and shocks in the solar system. The research will combine UAH's established 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code and a newly improved 3D particle acceleration and transport model. The goal is to provide more realistic multi-dimensional temporal descriptions of particle acceleration at CME-driven shocks to support NASA's upcoming Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions. This work directly addresses the NASA Living With a Star (LWS) Focused Science Topic on systems-level approaches to energetic particle dynamics in the heliosphere. There is no set-aside designation for this grant.
