Abstract: We present the results of direct numerical simulations of heavy particle transport in homogeneous, isotropic, fully developed turbulence, up to resolution $512^3$ ($R_{l}ambdaapprox185$). Following the trajectories of up to 120 million particles with Stokes numbers, $St$, in the range from 0.16 to 3.5 we are able to characterize in full detail the statistics of particle acceleration. We show that: ({it i}) The root-mean-squared acceleration $a_{mrms}$ sharply falls off from the fluid tracer value already at quite small Stokes numbers; ({it ii}) At a given $St$ the normalised acceleration $a_{mrms}/(epsilo{n}^3/u{)}^{1/4}$ increases with $R_{l}ambda$ consistently with the trend observed for fluid tracers; ({it iii}) The tails of the probability density function of the normalised acceleration $a/a_{mrms}$ decrease with $St$. Two concurrent mechanisms lead to the above results: preferential concentration of particles, very effective at small $St$, and filtering induced by the particle response time, that takes over at larger $St$.
