Scientific paper

Within the framework of a theory of the radiative effects of stochastic particle acceleration, it is demonstrated that a power law distribution of fast particles exists which is independent of the type of random field, the turbulence spectrum, and the charge and spin of the accelerated particles. It is found through a series of calculations that the principal characteristics of the accelerated particle spectra are very similar to those of the electron and ion spectra of cosmic rays. On the basis of the theoretical calculations it is predicted that, if a relatively large amount of low-energy electrons is present during the acceleration of the particles, the total amount of energy transferred to cosmic ray electrons can exceed the energy transferred to cosmic ray ions. The prediction is used to correct observational estimates of the energy released from known cosmic ray sources.
