Title: The Sun is a powerful particle accelerator, producing energetic particles across a broad range of energy, spatial, and temporal scales. Large-scale events, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can generate a large number of high-energy electrons and ions, powering broadband electromagnetic radiation and shaping interplanetary space weather. Meanwhile, small-scale energy release events—such as microflares/nanoflares, network jets, and transient UV brightenings—may also accelerate particles and contribute to coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Recent advances in observations and numerical modeling have provided new insights into these processes. In this talk, I will highlight our recent developments and discuss future prospects, particularly in the context of current- and next-generation solar radio observations that enable broadband imaging spectroscopy.
