Scientific paper

The heliosphere offers an ideal object of astrophysical study, where phenomena whose understanding is of fundamental importance to particle-acceleration processes, such as stochastic acceleration in the MHD turbulence around comets and stochastic shock acceleration at interplanetary shock waves, can be intensively observed. In both these phenomena, the particles interact during their acceleration with an MHD turbulent-wave field of their own making, creating a problem that is of highly nonlinear character; nonlinearities that are not included in the quasi-linear treatment may accordingly have very significant consequences.
