Abstract

Shock waves and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large scale phenomena of solar activity. They are generated in the solar corona and can enter into the interplanetary space. Both shock waves and CMEs are accompanied by energetic particles (electrons, protons, and heavy ions). The paper summarizes working group discussions on the propagation of CMEs and shock waves in the corona, on the role of CMEs in energy release processes, and on microphysical processes creating enhanced plasma wave turbulence and particle acceleration at shock waves. The ULYSSES, WIND, and SOHO missions together with ground based observations and additional theoretical investigations are an exceptional opportunity to achieve progress in answering the many open questions.KeywordsShock WaveCoronal Mass EjectionSolar PhysPlasma WaveBlast WaveThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
