contents Building on recent progress in the understanding of particle transport in magnetized plasmas, we derive a scaling law for the formation of nonthermal spectral tails in mildly and strongly magnetized turbulent environments. We validate this scaling using driven-turbulence particle-in-cell simulations that incorporate particle escape, allowing the system to reach a steady state. The simulation results show good agreement with our theoretical predictions. We then discuss the astrophysical implications of these findings, focusing on proton acceleration in the coronae of supermassive black holes and the resulting high-energy neutrino emission.
