Diffusive and Shock-Drift Acceleration in Relativistic Shocks
Tóm tắt
It is accepted that the shock acceleration mechanism can explain the non-thermal cosmic rays in supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei and gamma ray bursts. Especially, the importance of relativistic shock acceleration of cosmic rays in extragalactic sources is an important subject of study. In this work we will discuss the shock acceleration mechanism and will review the properties of non-relativistic and relativistic shocks, particularly focusing on relativistic Monte Carlo simulation studies.
