This project investigates the acceleration of cosmic rays through shock interactions in astrophysical environments. It aims to develop simulations to understand the magnetic field amplification and energy gain mechanisms in cosmic ray sources like supernova remnants and gamma-ray bursts.
Diffusive shock acceleration is widely acknowledged as the most likely source of cosmic rays and high energy particles.
The basic macroscopic theory of how cosmic rays gain energy during multiple shock crossings is well known, but the microphysics of the interaction between cosmic rays (CR) and the MHD background fluid remained poorly understood before the recent discovery of a new non-resonant instability by which the CR precursor could greatly amplify the ambient magnetic field.
