| Abstract: |
Recent advances in both the MHD turbulence theory and cosmic ray observations call for revisions in the paradigm of cosmic ray transport. We use the models of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence that were tested in numerical simulations, in which turbulence is injected at large scale and cascades to small scales. We shall present the nonlinear results for cosmic ray transport, in particular, the cross field transport of CRs. We demonstrate that the concept of cosmic ray subdiffusion in general does not apply and the perpendicular motion is well described by normal diffusion with MA4 dependence. Moreover, on scales less than the injection scale of turbulence, CRs' transport becomes super-diffusive. Quantitative predictions for both the normal diffusion on large scale and super diffusion on small scale are confirmed with recent numerical simulations. Implication for shock acceleration is briefly discussed. |
