Abstract
Acceleration of energetic particles is a widespread phenomenon in nature, one that occurs at a variety of sites ranging from the Earth’s magnetosphere to distant objects such as supernovae, active galaxies, and quasars. There are in fact many explosive phenomena in astrophysics, solar flares among them, in which energetic particles are routinely produced and often contain a large fraction of all the available energy.
