Diffusive shock acceleration at laser-driven shocks: studying cosmic-ray accelerators in the laboratory
The non-thermal particle spectra responsible for the emission from many astrophysical systems are thought to originate from shocks via a first order Fermi process otherwise known as diffusive shock acceleration. The same mechanism is also widely believed to be responsible for the production of high...
