Open publisher page 2 citations
Abstract
Acceleration of cosmic rays interacting with the anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulent medium is studied. Particle acceleration is caused by a large-scale electric field arising in a turbulent medium due to the α-effect. A comparison is made of equilibrium spectra of cosmic rays, characteristic of the specific acceleration mechanism, with the energy distribution of particles corresponding to the statistical Fermi acceleration.
