Gyrotropic (reflectively noninvariant) turbulence is explored as an acceleration mechanism for high energy particles. Consideration is given to a magnetic field frozen in a plasma moving at a specified velocity. The presence of turbulence produces small scale fluctuations in the magnetic and velocity fields. A characteristic time is defined for the turbulent pulsations, and the Larmor radius in the field of particles accelerating in a cosmic plasma is formulated. The velocity-field vector is shown to have a component oriented along the magnetic field vector, while the average magnetic field does not impede acceleration. The gyrotropic acceleration is analytically proven more efficient than Fermi acceleration. An application to the solar wind demonstrates that gyrotropic turbulence accounts for particle diffusion times measured in the solar system.
