چکیده
Abstract Energetic particles represent an important component of the plasma in heliosphere. They range from accelerated at impulsive events solar corona and large scale structures interplanetary medium, to anomalous cosmic rays boundaries In-situ satellite observations, numerical simulations theoretical models have advanced, often a cooperative way, our knowledge on acceleration processes involved. In this paper we review recent developments particle acceleration, with major emphasis shock giving overview observations shocks termination wind. We discuss their interpretation terms analytical simulations. The influence transport properties mechanism will also be addressed.

Particle Acceleration at Relativistic Shocks
I review the current status of Fermi acceleration theory at relativistic shocks. I first discuss the relativistic shock jump conditions, then describe the nonrelativistic Fermi mechanism and the differences introduced by relativistic flows. I present numerical calculations of the accelerated particle spectrum, and examine the maximum energy attainable by this process. I briefly consider the min...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks
The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. The efficiency of injection of the pick-up ion component differs from that of the solar wind, and is strongly enhanced at highly oblique and quasi-perpendicular shock events. This paper expands upon previous work modeling the phase s...
متن کاملAnomalous transport and particle acceleration at shocks
The theory of first order Fermi acceleration at shocks assumes that particles diffuse due to scattering off slow-moving magnetic irregularities. However, cosmic rays are closely tied to magnetic field lines, and the transport process, particularly across the direction of the field, is likely to be more complicated. To describe cross field transport we employ recent extensions of the Rechester-R...
متن کاملParticle acceleration at shocks in relativistic jets
The theory of particle acceleration at shock fronts is briefly reviewed, with special emphasis on the production of the particles responsible for the nonthermal emission from blazars. The flat radio/IR spectra of these sources cannot be produced by diffusive acceleration at a simple nonrelativistic shock front propagating in a homogeneous medium. It can, however, be produced by a single unmodif...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration at Multiple Internal Relativistic Shocks
Relativistic shocks provide an efficient method for high-energy particle acceleration in many astrophysical sources. Multiple shock systems are even more effective and of importance, for example, in the internal shock model of gamma-ray bursts. We investigate the reacceleration of pre-existing energetic particles at such relativistic internal shocks by the first order Fermi process of pitch ang...
