Abstract

Nonthermal particle acceleration is one of the most important topics in physics of cosmic plasmas. The heliosphere has been playing the role of the astrophysical laboratory for particle acceleration processes, where the basic ideas on various physical mechanisms can be tested against the data from in situ observations. I will focus on the topics of diffusive shock acceleration and its nonlinear property.
