Acceleration of charged particles in a cosmic-phase shear flow
It is shown that a charged particle, which has been scattered by magnetic-field inhomogeneities in a collisionless plasma, can gain energy in the presence of a plasma shear flow. The rate of energy gain, which is determined by the plasma parameters, is proportional to the square of the curl of the hydrodynamic velocity.
