An Original Mechanism for the Acceleration of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays
Damiano Caprioli
We suggest that ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic rays (CRs) may be accelerated in ultra-relativistic flows via a one-shot mechanism, the "espresso" acceleration, in which already-ene…

Chemical Enhancements in Shock-accelerated Particles: Ab-initio Simulations
Damiano Caprioli, Dennis T. Yi, Anatoly Spitkovsky
We study the thermalization, injection, and acceleration of ions with different mass/charge ratios, , in non-relativistic collisionless shocks via hybrid (kinetic ions-fluid e…
