Abstract:
Cosmic ray (CR) transport and acceleration is essential for many astrophysical problems, e.g., CMB foreground, ionization of molecular clouds and all high energy phenomena. Recent advances in MHD turbulence call for revisions in the paradigm of cosmic ray transport. We use the models of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence that were tested in numerical simulation, in which turbulence is injected at large scale and cascades to to small scales. I shall address the issue of the transport of CRs, both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field and show that the issue of cosmic ray cross field transport is actually superdiffusive on scales less than the injection scale of turbulence. I shall demonstrate compressible fast modes are dominant cosmic ray scatterer from both quasilinear and nonlinear calculations. Implications for solar flares and interstellar medium shall be provided.
