Acceleration of UHE Cosmic Ray Particles at Relativistic Jets in Extragalactic Radio Sources
M. Ostrowski
A mechanism of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic ray acceleration in extragalactic radio sources at the interface between the relativistic jet and the ambient medium is discussed as a…

Cosmic Ray Acceleration at Relativistic Shock Waves
M. Ostrowski
Theory of the first-order Fermi acceleration of cosmic ray particles at relativistic shock waves is reviewed. We consider shocks with parallel and oblique, sub- and super-luminal m…
