 * How do solar eruptions produce energetic particle radiation that fills the heliosphere?
 * How does the solar dynamo work and drive connections between the Sun and the heliosphere?

 Here is the summary of the specific RPW Science Objectives:
-* Solar and Interplanetary Radio Burst: 
-- What is the role of shocks and flares in accelerating particles near the Sun? 
-- How is the Sun connected magnetically to the interplanetary medium? 
-- What are the sources and the global dynamics of eruptive events? 
-- What is the role of ambient medium conditions on particle acceleration and propagation? 
-- How do variations and structure in the solar wind affect low frequency radio wave propagation? 
-* Electron density and temperature measurements with the Quasi-Thermal Noise spectroscopy: 
-- Precise measurement of both the electron density and temperature, with accuracies respectively of a few % and around 10 %, at perihelion. 
-- Study the non-thermal character of the electron distributions at perihelion. 
-* Radio emission processes from electron beams:  Langmuir waves and electromagnetic mode conversion: 
-- Measurements for the first time in the Solar Wind of both the electric and magnetic field waveforms at high time resolution (up to 500 kSs). 
-- Study of the mode conversion from Langmuir to electromagnetic waves. 
-- Study of the energy balance between electron beams, Langmuir waves and e.m. radio waves at several radial distances 
-* Solar wind microphysics and turbulence: 
-- Measure of the waves associated with the plasma instabilities that are generated by temperature anisotropies in the solar wind. 
-- First DC/LF electric field measurements in the inner heliosphere and over a large radial distance in the solar. 
-* Shocks, Reconnection, Current Sheets, and Magnetic Holes: 
-- Identification and study of the reconnection process in current sheets with thickness down to the ion scales and smaller. 
-- Determination of the interplanetary shock structure down to the spatial and temporal scales comparable and smaller than the typical ion scales. 
-- Determination of different particle energisation mechanisms within shocks and reconnection regions. 
-- Distinguish different radio burst generation mechanisms. Interplanetary Dust 
-- Determination, in combination with the EPD instrument, the spatial distribution, mass and dynamics of dust particles in the near-Sun heliosphere, in and out of the ecliptic.

 To cover its specific Science Objectives, RPW will measure magnetic and electric fields at high time 
 resolution using a number of sensors, to determine the characteristics of electromagnetic and electrostatic
