On the role of stochastic Fermi acceleration in setting the dissipation scale of turbulence in the interstellar medium
Robert I Selkowitz, Eric G. Blackman
We consider the dissipation by Fermi acceleration of magnetosonic turbulence in the Reynolds Layer of the interstellar medium. The scale in the cascade at which electron accelerati…

The shock reprocessing model of electron acceleration in impulsive solar flares
Robert Selkowitz, Eric G. Blackman
We propose a new two-stage model for acceleration of electrons in solar flares. In the first stage, electrons are accelerated stochastically in a post-reconnection turbulent downfl…

Stochastic Fermi Acceleration of sub-Relativistic Electrons and Its Role in Impulsive Solar Flares
Robert Selkowitz, Eric G. Blackman
We reexamine stochastic Fermi acceleration (STFA) in the low energy (Newtonian) regime in the context of solar flares. The particle energization rate depends a dispersive term and…
