Particle acceleration in Alfvénic turbulence with a strong guide field

Magnetically dominated Alfvénic turbulence creates an effective environment for particle acceleration.

Magnetically dominated Alfvénic turbulence creates an effective environment for particle acceleration. However, when a strong mean field is present, traditional mechanisms like mirror and curvature acceleration become inefficient at explaining non-thermal particle energy…
