It is shown that extensive quasi-regular magnetic fields may be formed in some binary star systems and that these fields may accelerate charged particles, making the systems an important source of low-energy cosmic rays. Two mechanisms of magnetic field formation in binary systems are described and analyzed separately: (1) plasma convection inside each star and (2) an induction mechanism whereby the two stars interact to generate electric currents which form their own magnetic fields. The necessary conditions are outlined under which the variable magnetic field of a binary system might accelerate charged particles located in the space between the two stars. This process is analyzed, and emission of particles from the system is described.
