Particle acceleration via converter mechanism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
We review the problem of particle acceleration in relativistic shocks or shear flows. We propose a converter mechanism, which operates via continuous conversion of accelerated particles from charged into neutral state and back, and show that it is capable of producing the highest energy cosmic rays.
