Solar energetic particles, or SEPs, from suprathermal (few keV) up to relativistic (∼∼ few
GeV) energies are accelerated near the Sun in at least two ways:(1) by magnetic …

The theory of first order Fermi acceleration at collisionless astrophysical shock fronts is
reviewed. Observations suggest that shock waves in different astrophysical environments …

The problem of the origin of galactic cosmic rays is a particularly difficult one despite the fact
that rather detailed measurements of the properties of cosmic rays can be made, at least in …

We survey the theory and experimental tests for the propagation of cosmic rays in the Galaxy
up to energies of 1015 eV. A guide to the previous reviews and essential literature is given …

Solar wind fluctuations are commonly regarded as a superposition of MHD waves, primarily
in the Alfvén mode. These MHD fluctuations are frequently assumed to possess “slab” or …

We present a new analysis of the transport of cosmic rays in a turbulent magnetic field that
varies in all three spatial dimensions. The analysis utilizes a numerical simulation that …

The motion of cosmic rays through a moving magnetized medium supporting a spectrum of
hydromagnetic waves is re-examined. In different approximations, Fermi acceleration …

Little more than ten years have passed since spaceprobe-borne instruments con clusively
demonstrated the existence of the solar wind. These observations con firmed the basic …
