Description
Recent advances in MHD turbulence call for fundamental revisions in
the paradigm of cosmic ray transport and acceleration. I would
like to clarify some outstanding issues related to particle transport
and
acceleration in realistic turbulent astrophysical environments. I
shall discuss
both the transport and acceleration of CRs, and demonstrate that
compressible
fast modes dominate the interactions. I shall address effects arising
from the
preexisting turbulence and waves generated by CR instabilities and
provide implications
for solar flares and SNRs. I shall also discuss how Gamma Ray Bursts
(GRBs) properties
can be explained by a model based on turbulent reconnection.
