Time-dependent particle acceleration in supernova remnants in different environments

We simulate time-dependent particle acceleration in the blast wave of a young supernova remnant (SNR), using a Monte Carlo approach for the diffusion and acceleration of the particles, coupled to a magnetohydrodynamics code. We calculate the distribution function of the cosmic rays concurrently with...
