Oral contribution
The analytical theory of diffusive cosmic ray acceleration at parallel shock waves is generalized to arbitrary shock speeds $V_s=\beta _1c$, including in particular relativistic speeds. This is achieved by applying the diffusion approximation to the relevant Fokker-Planck particle transport equation formulated in the mixed comoving coordinate system. In this coordinate system the particle's...

For parameters that are applicable to the conditions at young supernova remnants, we present results of 2D3V particle-in-cell simulations of a non-relativistic plasma shock with a large-scale perpendicular magnetic field. We developed a new clean setup that uses the collision of two plasma slabs with different density and velocity, leading to the development of two distinctive shocks and a...

We study production of secondary cosmic rays (CR) in supernova remnants (SNR). The model includes reacceleration of already existing in interstellar medium secondary CR particles as well as creation of secondary CRs in nuclear collisions of accelerated protons with gas nuclei and their subsequent acceleration by SNR shock. It is shown that production secondary CRs in SNRs produces...

Using three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations, we show that the efficiency of cosmic-ray (CR) production at supernova remnants (SNRs) is over-predicted if it could be estimated based on proper motion measurements of H$\alpha$ filaments in combination with shock-jump conditions.
The CR production efficiency at the SNR has been widely discussed, which seems to be...

We solve the Vlasov equation describing the escape of cosmic rays (CRs) from a point source, in the case when the Larmor radius is smaller than the coherence scale of the cosmological magnetic field in which CRs are propagating, right after leaving the source. The electric current that follows from this calculation is used to calculate the growth rate of a non-resonant instability. We study...

We investigate the beginning of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration at supernovae, from the first day to the first few decades following the explosion. We show that supernovae occuring in dense winds should accelerate CR protons to energies E > PeV. We present a detailed study of the maximum CR energy, magnetic field amplification at the shock, and compute fluxes of secondary gamma-rays and...
