Journal ArticleDOI
Radio signature of cosmological structure formation shocks
Matthias Hoeft,Marcus Brüggen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived an analytic expression for the total radio power in the downstream region of a cosmological shock wave, and the width of the radio-emitting region.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origin of Galactic Cosmic Rays
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the theory of diffusive particle acceleration at supernova remnant shocks, with special attention for the dynamical reaction of accelerated particles on the shock and the phenomenon of magnetic field amplification at the shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Filamentation Instability of Counterstreaming Laser-Driven Plasmas
William Fox,Gennady Fiksel,Amitava Bhattacharjee,Po-Yu Chang,Kai Germaschewski,Suxing Hu,P. M. Nilson +6 more
TL;DR: Filamentation due to the growth of a Weibel-type instability was observed in the interaction of a pair of counterstreaming, ablatively driven plasma flows, in a supersonic, collisionless regime relevant to astrophysical collisionless shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrino Afterglow from Gamma-Ray Bursts: ~1018 eV
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a significant fraction of the energy of a γ-ray burst (GRB) is probably converted to a burst of 1017-1019 eV neutrinos and multiple GeV γ rays that follow the main GRB by ~10 s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray acceleration by relativistic blast waves
TL;DR: In this article, the acceleration of charged particles at the ultrarelativistic shocks, with Lorentz factors Γs≫1 relative to the upstream medium, arising in relativistic fireball models of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), was considered.
