Acceleration and transport of ions in turbulent current sheets: formation of non-maxwelian energy distribution

The paper is devoted to particle acceleration in turbulent current sheet (CS). Our results show that the mechanism of CS particle interaction with electromagnetic turbulence can explain the formation of power law energy distributions. We study the ratio between adiabatic acceleration of particles in...
