The Role of MHD in the ICM and its Interactions with AGN Outflows
T. W. Jones
Magnetic fields probably play a central role in the dynamics and thermodynamics of ICMs and their interactions with AGNs, despite the fact that the fields usually contribute relati…
Time Evolution of Cosmic Ray MHD Shocks and Their Emissions
P. P. Edmon, T. W. Jones, H. Kang
We present results of time evolution of oblique MHD plane shocks including diffusive cosmic ray acceleration with backreaction on the plasma flows. The simulations include self-con…
Acceleration of ULtra High Energy Cosmic Rays: Cosmic Zevatrons?
T. W. Jones
In this lecture I outline some of the underlying physics issues associated with accelerators plausibly capable of explaining the UHECRs up to ZeV energies. I concentrate on the con…
Structure Shocks as a Source of Cosmic Rays in Clusters
T. W. Jones, Francesco Miniati, Dongsu Ryu +2
Shocks are a ubiquitous consequence of cosmic structure formation, and they play an essential role in heating galaxy cluster media. Virtually all of the gas in clusters has been pr…
Intrinsic energy cut-off in diffusive shock acceleration: possible reason for non-detection of TeV-protons in SNRs
M. A. Malkov, P. H. Diamond, T. W. Jones
The linear theory of shock acceleration predicts the maximum particle energy to be limited only by the acceleration time and the size of the shock. We study the combined effect of…
Cosmic Particle Acceleration: Basic Issues
T. W. Jones
Cosmic-rays are ubiquitous, but their origins are surprisingly difficult to understand. A review is presented of some of the basic issues common to cosmic particle accelerators and…
