Scientific paper

We have developed a model in which the diffuse synchrotron emission from radio mini-halos, observed in some cooling flow clusters, is due to a relic population of relativistic electrons reaccelerated by MHD turbulence via Fermi-like processes. In this model the energetics is supplied by the cooling flow itself. Here, the model (successfully applied to the Perseus cluster, A426) is preliminarily applied to the possible mini-halo candidate A2626, for which we present VLA data.
