On the maximum energy of shock-accelerated cosmic rays at ultra-relativistic shocks
The maximum energy to which cosmic rays can be accelerated at weakly magnetised ultrarelativistic shocks is investigated.We demonstrate that for such shocks, in which the scattering of energetic particles is mediated exclusively by ion skin-depth scale structures, as might be expected for a Weibel-m...
