A CHANDRA VIEW OF NON-THERMAL EMISSION IN THE NORTHWESTERN REGION OF SUPERNOVA REMNANT RCW 86: PARTICLE ACCELERATION AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

The shocks of supernova remnants are believed to accelerate particles to cosmic ray (CR) energies. The amplification of the magnetic field due to CRs propagating in the shock region is expected to have an impact on both the emission from the accelerated particle population as well as the acceleratio...
