Cosmic ray acceleration in hydromagnetic flux tubes
We find that hydromagnetic flux tubes in back-flows in the lobes of radio galaxies offer a suitable environment for the acceleration of cosmic rays (CR) to ultra-high energies. We show that CR can reach the Hillas (1984) energy even if the magnetized turbulence in the flux tube is not sufficiently s...
