Damping of MHD turbulence in partially ionized plasma: implications for cosmic ray propagation
read the original abstract
We study the damping from neutral-ion collisions of both incompressible and compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in partially ionized medium. We start from the linear analysis of MHD waves applying both single-fluid and two-fluid treatments. The damping rates derived from the linear analysis are then used in determining the damping scales of MHD turbulence. The physical connection between the damping scale of MHD turbulence and cutoff boundary of linear MHD waves is investigated. Our analytical results are shown to be applicable in a variety of partially ionized interstellar medium (ISM) phases and solar chromosphere. As a significant astrophysical utility, we introduce damping effects to propagation of cosmic rays in partially ionized ISM. The important role of turbulence damping in both transit-time damping and gyroresonance is identified.

Superdiffusion of cosmic rays in the vicinity of their accelerators and the resulting $\gamma$-ray emission
Superdiffusion produces constant or r^{α-3} CR radial profiles near sources; the associated γ-ray morphology can distinguish it from normal diffusion with IACTs.
