Presented by Brian Reville from Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik, Heidelberg
There is a growing wealth of evidence that electrons, and possibly protons, are accelerated to high energies at supernova remnant shocks. The most popular model for accelerating these energetic particles is the diffusive shock acceleration process. Recent models suggest that the efficient acceleration of cosmic-rays can also lead to significant amplification of the magnetic field.
I will review some of the observational results that have motivated these suggestions and the theories that have been put forward to explain these observations.
