Power requirements for cosmic ray propagation models involving diffusive   reacceleration; estimates and implications for the damping of interstellar   turbulence
  We make quantitative estimates of the power supplied to the Galactic cosmic ray population by second-order Fermi acceleration in the interstellar medium, or as it is usually termed in cosmic ray propagation studies, diffusive reacceleration. Using recent results on the local interstellar spectrum from the Voyager missions we show that for parameter values, in particular the Alfv\'en speed, typically used in propagation codes such as Galprop to fit the B/C ratio, the power contributed by diffusive reacceleration is significant and can be of order 50\% of the total Galactic cosmic ray power. The implications for the damping of interstellar turbulence are briefly considered.
