About this award

This contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center of a civilian federal agency to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization. The $1,093,718 grant will fund a cross-disciplinary investigation of particle acceleration and transport mechanisms in solar eruptive events, focusing on the coupling between particle acceleration at the solar flare site and diffusive shock acceleration at the coronal mass ejection-driven shock. The research will employ a hybrid model combining kinetic treatment of particles and fluid treatment of macroscopic shock evolution, using data-driven simulations of observed events. This work does not have a set-aside designation and builds on BAER Institute's expertise in advanced scientific research, data analysis, and computational modeling across disciplines including astrophysics, solar physics, and planetary science. The institute has a robust portfolio of federal contract awards and grants, including indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with the U.S. Geological Survey for global food security support and crop analysis.

Description

We propose a cross-disciplinary, paradigm-shifting investigation of the mechanisms of particle acceleration and transport in solar eruptive events, including particle acceleration and transport at the flare site on the sun and at the CME-driven shock
