Particle Acceleration in Gamma-Ray Burst Jets
Frank M. Rieger, Peter Duffy
Gradual shear acceleration of energetic particles in gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets is considered. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of universal structured jets, and character…

Particle acceleration timescales in relativistic shear flows
Frank M. Rieger, Peter Duffy
We review the acceleration of energetic particles in relativistic astrophysical jets characterized by a significant velocity shear. The possible formation of power-law momentum spe…

Particle acceleration efficiencies in astrophysical shear flows
F. M. Rieger, P. Duffy
The acceleration of energetic particles in astrophysical shear flows is analyzed. We show that in the presence of a non-relativistic gradual velocity shear, power law particle mome…
