THE EFFECT OF SOLITONS ON THE ACCELERATIONOF PARTICLES

Both the heating of plasma and the acceleration of particles are important topics in plasma physics and plasma astrophysics. For solving these problems in the strong turbulent regime it is necessary to study the interaction of solitons with particles. This paper reviews several methods that have been used to solve these problems successfully, and the progress made at present, and discusses some still unsolved problems. As the results of interaction of solitons with plasma particles, a highly populated supra...
