The book consists of four Chapters. Chapter 1 shortly describes
main properties of space plasmas and primary CR, different types of
CR interactions with space plasmas components (matter, photons, and
frozen in magnetic fields). Chapter 2 considers the problem of CR
propagation in space plasmas described by the kinetic equation and
different types of diffusion approximations (diffusion in momentum
space and in pitch-angle space, anisotropic diffusion, anomaly CR
diffusion and compound diffusion, the influence of magnetic clouds
on CR propagation, non-diffusive CR particle pulse transport).
Chapter 3 is devoted to CR non-linear effects in space plasmas
caused by CR pressure and CR kinetic stream instabilities with the
generation of Alfven turbulence (these effects are important in
galaxies, in the Heliosphere, in CR and gamma-ray sources and in
the processes of CR acceleration). considered: the development of
the Fermi statistical mechanism, acceleration in the turbulent
plasma, Alfven mechanism of magnetic pumping, induction mechanisms,
acceleration during magnetic collapse and compression, cumulative
acceleration mechanism near the zero lines of a magnetic field,
acceleration in shear flows, shock-wave diffusion (regular)
acceleration. The book ends with a list providing more than 1,300
full references, a discussion on future developments and unsolved
problems, as well as Object and Author indexes. This book will be
useful for experts and students in CR research, Astrophysics and
Geophysics, and in Space Physics.
