title: Resonant acceleration of charged particles in the presence of random fluctuations.
abstract: We present a quantitative theory of the nonlinear dynamics and surfatron resonant acceleration of charged particles in the presence of random fluctuations of magnetic field. We demonstrate that the surfatron mechanism of acceleration is sufficiently stable versus the influence of fluctuations and particle accelerate even in the presence of a random noise. We estimate the maximum energy which particles could gain in the course of the surfatron acceleration.
