Description

A general theory for particle acceleration by weak hydromagnetic turbulence with a given spectrum of waves is described. Various limiting cases, corresponding to Fermi acceleration and magnetic pumping, are discussed and two numerical examples illustrating them are given. an attempt is made to show that the expression for the rate of Fermi acceleration is valid for finite amplitudes
