Abstract

The connection between solar radiobursts of type II and shocks has been largely recognized since many years; however, the details of radiobursts generation are not been fully understood yet. A two-step mechanism is often invoked including (i) the formation of electrons streams by shock waves and (ii) the excitation of radio emission by these streams. In the present report, we will focuss mainly on step (i) through results of numerical simulations mainly based on full particle electrostatic and electromagnetic codes. Such codes are appropriate to follow the overall dynamics of the shock itself and to identify the different sources of acceleration and heating of particles in a self-consistent way.
