Description
I will review some of the main phenomenological signatures of the stochastic acceleration acting
in the relativistic jets of blazars. I will link predictions from Monte Carlo simulations
and from the numerical solution of the diffusion equation in momentum space, to the
spectral features observed in the multi-wavelength SED of blazars. In particular, I will focus
on the spectral evolution and spectral curvature in the X-ray and in the TeV data.
Finally, I will discuss the formation of pile-up during strong flares.
