Abstract

Present radio data provide indirect evidence that diffuse radio emission in the central cluster regions may originate from turbulent-acceleration of relativistic particles. I was invited to discuss models of particle acceleration by MHD turbulence in clusters and in these pages I briefly touch the main points of my talk.
