Wave-Particle Interaction High-energy particles interact with macroscopic E-M waves. Hereafter, we consider waves in MHD approximation. The gyroresonance with Alfven waves has been discussed. The kinetic energy and magnetic energy in perturbation are comparable.

Diffusion Coefficient
Summary • A significant fraction of particles can resonate with fast waves via TTD. • When the cut-off scale is larger than the Larmor radius, the hard-sphere acceleration realizes. • Most of blazar spectra can be explained by the hardsphere acceleration model. • UHECRs can be accelerated by turbulence at the onset of GRB afterglow. • Since the acceleration timescale is long, electrons cool before accelerating. • The required diffusion coefficient for UHECR production is not extreme one compared to our test particle simulation.

Stochastic Acceleration Model for 2015 Flare A B C
Model A (EIC model neglecting the X-ray data) Particle dominant. The X-ray component has a different origin in this scenario.
Model B (EIC+SSC model with the X-ray data) Synchrotron cooling effect Too bright synchrotron? Larger B-field and Diffusion coefficient. The maximum energy of electrons is suppressed due to cooling. Magnetic field dominant. The X-ray component is SSC. Too bright synchrotron component.
Model C (Syn model with the secondary pair injection) Secondary pairs dominate the number of particles! Neglecting the secondary pair. Particle dominant, though synchrotron model! Large Diffusion coefficient+Weka B-field. Electromagnetic cascade+Re-acceleration+cooling. Secondary pairs dominate. Resultant electron spectrum: roughly E-2
