Abstract: Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) cannot efficiently accelerate particles without the presence of self-consistently generated or pre-existing strong turbulence (δB/B∼ 1) in the vicinity of the shock. The problem we address in this article is: if large-amplitude… read more here.

Abstract: The present work considers a plane shock front propagating along a cylindrical jet. Electrons experience the diffusive shock acceleration around the shock front, and subsequently drift away into the downstream flow in which they emit… read more here.
