Collisionless shocks
Mediated by collective electromagnetic interactions
Sources of non-thermal particles and emission
Reproducible in laboratory

A universal acceleration mechanism
Fermi mechanism (Fermi, 1954): random scattering leads to energy gain
In shocks, particles gain energy at any reflection (Blandford & Ostriker; Bell; Axford
et al.; 1978): Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA)

The actual value of ξcr can be derived by measuring the
Mach numbers considered here, it varies between 10 a
15% at t = 200ωc−1 (also see figure 3 in Paper I). Qu
remarkably, if we pose ξcr = 0.15, eq. 2 provides a v
good fitting to the amplification factors inferred from
simulations (dashed line in figure 6).
The extrapolation of the presented results to hig
Mach numbers according to eq. 2 is consistent with
hypothesis that CR-induced instabilities can account
the effective magnetic field amplification inferred at
blast waves of young SNRs, even with moderate CR
celeration efficiencies of about 10–20%.
It would be tempting to conclude that resonant strea
