Stochastic particle acceleration in the lobes of giant radio galaxies

We investigate the acceleration of particles by Alfvén waves via the second-order Fermi process in the lobes of giant radio galaxies. Such sites are candidates for the accelerators of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR). We focus on the nearby Fanaroff-Riley type I radio galaxy Centaurus A. This i...
