Numerical study of Cosmic Ray Diffusion in MHD turbulence

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the diffusion of cosmic ray (CR) in turbulent magnetic fields using test particle simulations and found qualitative correspondence between them in various aspects of CR diffusion.

Cosmic‐Ray History and Its Implications for Galactic Magnetic Fields

TL;DR: In this article, the role of magnetic field strength in cosmic-ray acceleration and confinement has been investigated and it has been shown that magnetic fields several orders of magnitude weaker than present galactic fields can accelerate and retain a population of relativistic cosmic rays, provided that the fields are coherent over length scales greater than a cosmic ray gyroradius.

Radio emission models of colliding-wind binary systems. Inclusion of IC cooling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended these models by considering the temporal and spatial evolution of the energy distribution of relativistic electrons as they advect downstream from their shock acceleration site.
