GROUP V: Summary talk
Sumarry
Group 5 will focus on the outline of the constrains put forward by the analysis of the RHESSI data to the models for particle acceleration. The second goal of this group is to correlate the existing MHD models for Flares and CMEs with the kinetic aspects of particle acceleration and propagation.
