Mechanisms for energetic particle acceleration in the solar wind
Description
Recent work on energetic particle acceleration in the solar wind is reviewed. In particular, it is shown that a statistical mechanism, in which particles interact with magnetosonic waves, may account for particle acceleration in corotating interaction regions, and for the acceleration of the anomalous cosmic-ray component. This mechanism can yield the observed spectra and composition of the accelerated particles
