The Astrophysical JournalObservational evidence is accumulating that turbulence in the solar wind is intermittent (non-Gaussian) because of the strong presence of a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D), low-frequency turbulence component containing nonpropagating, closed, small ...

The acceleration of energetic particles in the interplanetary medium by transit time damping [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1976 It has been reported recently by McDonald et al. (1976) that 1-MeV protons may undergo considerable acceleration in corotating streams. It has been suggested recently by Fisk et al. (1974b) that interstellar neutral particles which are ionized in the solar cavity may be accelerated in the solar wind and may account for the anomalous component that is ...

The Diffusion and Scattering of Accelerating Particles in Compressible MHD Turbulence
The Astrophysical JournalWe numerically study the diffusion and scattering of cosmic rays (CRs) together with their acceleration processes in the framework of the modern understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Based on the properties of compressible MHD turbulence

Compression Acceleration of Protons and Heavier Ions at the Heliospheric Current Sheet
The Astrophysical JournalRecent observations by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) suggest that protons and heavier ions are accelerated to high energies by magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet (HCS).

A semi-analytical foreshock model for energetic storm particle events inside 1 AU
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2014 We have constructed a semi-analytical model of the energetic-ion foreshock of a CME-driven coronal/interplanetary shock wave responsible for the acceleration of large solar energetic particle (SEP) events.

Electron Acceleration at Shock Ripples: Role of Pitch-angle Diffusion
The Astrophysical JournalSuprathermal electrons are routinely observed in interplanetary space. At higher energies, there are in-situ evidences that shocks, both interplanetary shocks, often driven by fast coronal mass ejections, and terrestrial bow shocks, can accelerate ...

Towards advanced forecasting of solar energetic particle events with the PARASOL model
Journal of Space Weather and Space ClimateGradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events are generally attributed to the particle acceleration in shock waves driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Space-weather effects of such events are important, so there has been continuous effort to develop
