The acceleration of charged particles is a topic of fundamental importance in may space and astrophysics plasma systems. A particularly controversial topic is the observation of an energetic particle populations associated with cusp diamagnetic cavities. While there are some indications that the acceleration of these particles occurs locally other observations seem to indicate the quasi-parallel bow shock as the source region for these particles. We will address this issue in the framework of testparticle simulations using electric and magnetic field from MHD simulations of diamagnetic cavities. Our previous results have already indicated a high efficiency of particle acceleration. This presentation will specifically address properties of the acceleration process, i.e., where and under what circumstances particles will be accelerated in diamagnetic regions. In addition this contribution will clarify in how far non-adiabatic aspects of the particle dynamics contribute to the particle energization process.
